Venn diagram showing the number of metabolites that are changed in relation to time point of sampling. Early changes: within 0.5 h after exercise; Intermediate changes: between > 0.5 and 3 h after exercise; Late changes: between > 3 and 24 h after exercise. The respective metabolites in each sample category (early to late) and the overlapping metabolites are shown in Additional file 3: Table S7. No metabolites were changed equally in intermediate and late only. For example, we found 31 metabolites that are changed at all sampling time points following exercise consisting of acylcarnitines and free fatty acids. Note that only blood metabolite changes of 33 experiments are shown in this diagram.
