Background:  The aim of the present study was to examine the findings of the intraoral examinations of the 12-16 years old novice (control) and elite athletes across the winter sports branches, which were alpine discipline skiing, snowboarding, biathlon, ski jumping, and ice hockey. Besides, the study aimed to determine the intra- and inter-group relationships by comparing the athletes salivary stress biomarker levels at precompetition, during-match, and post-competition stages.

Methods:  Ninety-one athletes (71 elite, 20 novice) participated in our study.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examines how different exercise intensities affect inflammation and hypoxia markers in amateur athletes.
  • Twenty-three athletes participated in four cycling protocols (rest, 50%, 75%, and 100% of their maximum oxygen consumption) while blood samples were collected to measure specific serum markers.
  • Results showed that higher exercise intensities (75% and 100% of VO max) significantly increased levels of TNF-α and CRP compared to rest, indicating that both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses are activated through varying exercise intensities.
