Effects of HIIE (●: Tabata training exercise) and 30-min moderate-intensity (70% VO₂max) prolonged exercise (MIE) (○) on the serum SPARC concentration in human subjects [66]. Values are mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 vs. the pre-exercise values of the HIIE experiments. ^#p < 0.05 vs. the pre-exercise values of the MIE. ^†p < 0.05 between the HIIE and MIE at the same time points
