Abstract

Saliva can have a wide potential application in sport sciences to evaluate different biomarkers. In this chapter updated information and general ideas about the use of saliva in sport sciences it is provided. Overall the main biomarkers of potential use in sport that can be measured in saliva are reviewed and grouped in biomarkers of stress, immune system and inflammation, muscle damage, anaerobic metabolism and oxidative status.
