This is a dataset used in the manuscript: Erythrocyte concentration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is enhanced by systematic sports participation.
The file includes data from two hundred and six healthy, non-smoking men between 20 and 90 years. There are two athletic groups: endurance runners (EN; 86 men aged 20–81 years) and sprint-trained athletes (SP; 58 men aged 21–90 years), and a control group (CO; 62 untrained individuals aged 20–68 years).
The dataset covers anthropometric measurements (mass and height), maximal oxygen capacity obtained during running exercise test until exhaustion, and selected blood indices: hemoglobin concentration (Hb), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), hematocrit (HCT), and the erythrocyte concentration of NAD+ and NADP+.
Exercise testing and blood draws were conducted at the Human Movement Laboratory "LaBthletics" of the Poznan University of Physical Education, Poznan, Poland. The measurements of erythrocyte NAD+ and NADP+ concentration were performed at the Department of Biochemistry of Medical University of Gdansk, Gdansk, Poland.
