Seven proteins correlated in three or more sports. Matrix of pairwise correlations (rs) among proteins for canoeing; cycling; gymnastics; handball; karate, and modern pentathlon. The significant correlations at p value < 0.001 are shown (*). Full data are presented in Supplementary Material 1. Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein—A1AG1; Albumin—ALBU; Cystatin C—CYTC; C-reactive protein CRP; Hemoglobin beta chain—HBA; Haptoglobin—HPT; Insulin-like growth factor 1—IGF1; Lipopolysaccharide binding protein—LBP; Mannose-binding lectin—MBL2; Myeloperoxidase—PERM and Serum amyloid A1—SAA1.
