Quantitative evaluation of CD45⁺ /CD34⁺ cells (Figure 5a) and CD45⁺ /CD133⁺ cells (Figure 5b) by flow cytometry analysis. Patients with exercise training shows a temporarily increase of the CPCs between t₀ and t₁. In the control group (patients with traditional rehabilitation) were no differences observed. Values are expressed as total numbers of CD45⁺/CD34⁺ cells, respectively CD45⁺/CD133⁺ cells, related to 1 × 10⁶ MNCs. Values are mean ± SD. t₀, before exercise training; t₁, after exercise training; t₂, 3 months after exercise training.
