  1. Phe = phenylalanine; Tyr = tyrosine; [Phe]/[Tyr] = phenylalanine: tyrosine concentration ratio.
  2. To evaluate the short-term effect of exercise on phenylalanine and tyrosine concentrations and the phenylalanine:tyrosine concentration ratio in serum repeated-measures MANOVA were performed with the within-subjects factor “time of measurement” (before the exercise, 60 min after the exercise, 120 min after the exercise).
