£ denotes significantly (p < 0.05) different from rest concentration.
* denotes concentration change significantly (p < 0.05) different from COL.
$ denotes concentration change significantly (p < 0.05) different from NAT.
# denotes concentration change significantly (p < 0.05) different from NAT. COL = College rowers, NAT = national rowers.
