Effects of exercise on leukocytosis and blood hemostasis in 800 healthy young females and males

Figure 6 Evaluation of blood hemostasis. A: Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and D-dimer were measured in 132 healthy females before and after 5 min intense exercise. P values show the difference between after and before exercise. In the last panel actilyse “recombinant tissue-PA = rt-PA” was added to the assay in the presence thrombin and plasma samples collected from these individual and represent positive control. Dot and column graphs are shown to indicate the differences between after and before exercise; B: This is similar to panel A except that plasma samples of 159 healthy males were examined; C: Comparison among males (M) and females (F) for differences in APTT or D-dimer values (before minus after exercise). B: Before; A: After; NS: Not significant.
