The main aim of this pilot study was to characterize hormonal status of top-level female sambo athletes at rest and postexercise. Methods: Salivary hormones were measured with specific immune assay in Russian National team sambo athletes (N.=59) at rest and following session of sambo exercise (5 bouts of simulated fights, consisting of 5 min exercise and 10 min recovery). Results: Salivary testosterone levels at rest were significantly higher in sambo athletes comparing to sedentary controls (37.4±24.1 vs. 14.3±6.9 pg/mL, P<0.001), while estradiol levels were lower in female samboists (2.4±1.5 vs. 11.3±7.0 pg/mL, P<0.001). Both salivary testosterone and cortisol significantly dropped after sambo exercise as compared to baseline levels (P<0.05). Conclusions: Hormonal status of female samboists seems to be markedly affected by chronic and acute exercise, with salivary testosterone recognized as a sensible biomarker of exercise stress. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/3004 | ISSN: | 257826 | DOI: | 10.23736/S0025-7826.17.02942-8 |
