The Effect of Submaximal Exercise Preceded by Single Whole-Body Cryotherapy on the Markers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Blood of Volleyball Players

Table 3

The level of selected cytokines: interleukin-1𝛽 (IL-1𝛽), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor 𝛼 (TNF-𝛼), and transforming growth factor 𝛽1 (TGF-𝛽1) in blood serum of volleyball players before and after physical effort preceded by whole-body cryotherapy (WBC exercise) and exercise without stimulation by cryogenic temperatures (control exercise).
