  1. All concentrations are in pg/ml, except for Klotho, which is ng/ml. The p-value for ‘Baseline’ shows differences between groups at baseline and ‘Training’ shows the differences after training as a whole group. ‘Training*intensity’ demonstrates an interaction between the training intensities in the cytokine and klotho concentration. Logarithmic transformation has been done to the variables indicated with ‘Log’. All data are presented as model based means [95% confidence interval, CI]. Logarithmic transformation has been done to the variables with ^. The values are LS means translated into original units.
