Absolute cell counts/µl at the three measurement time points. NK cells (A), their subpopulations CD56brightNK cells (B), CD56dimNK cells (C), total innate lymphoid cell count (D), their subpopulations ILC1-like (E), ILC2 (F), ILCP (G) and NKp44 + ILC3 (H) for the PG (blue, n = 20), HG (red, n = 20), represented as individual data (thin lines) and mean value (bold lines) with standard deviation. T0 = pre-exercise, T1 = post-exercise, T2 = after one hour of recovery. ↑/↓=p < 0.05; ↑↑/↓↓=p < 0.001
