Abstract
Aim: To examine whether time of day significantly affects salivary IgA, cortisol, α amylase and total protein levels before and after sub-maximal swimming.
Method: Fourteen female swimmers (age 13±1.33 years, weight 48±4.75 kg, Vo2max 45.92±3.96 ml/kg/min) volunteered to participate in the study. In a fully randomized, cross over design, each subject performed 10×200 m front crawl at 80% of their seasonal best time, with one minute rest between each 200 m, at 08:00 and 18:00 hours on two days aware. Timed, unstimulated saliva samples were collected before and after exercise. Saliva samples were analyzed by two-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures. Statistical significance was accepted at p
