Change (Δ) in total WBC and neutrophil counts by exercise group (control, 4, 8, and 12 kcal kg⁻¹ min⁻¹; KKW) and high/low baseline WBC counts.

<p>Interaction = group x high/low WBC category; trend high and low are from general linear model across intervention groups separately for each high/low baseline WBC category. The participant numbers (n) in the high baseline total WBC groups were 41, 71, 41, and 43 and low baseline total WBC groups were 45, 63, 37, and 49 for Control, 4, 8, and 12 KKW, respectively. The participant numbers (n) in the high baseline neutrophil groups were 40, 71, 42, and 42 and low baseline neutrophil groups were 46, 63, 36, and 50 for Control, 4, 8, and 12 KKW, respectively. <b>*</b> Significantly different between high/low baseline WBC categories within an exercise group.
