Plasmatic antioxidant parameters of total antioxidant capacity (A) and total bilirubin (B). Measurements were assessed pre-intervention (baseline), immediately after, and 20 min after intervention. Control intervention (preload only); 400 N (target 400 N thoracic SMT); 800 N (target 800 N thoracic SMT). SMT: posterior to anterior thoracic spinal manipulation. Values are presented as mean and standard error. Significance was set as an alpha of 0.05. * Denotes a significant within-group difference between baseline and immediately after intervention
