Salivary flow rate, sIgA level and secretion
Salivary flow rate, sIgA level and secretion at pre-suppl, post-suppl and post-exer 0h, 24h and 72h after the last training session are reported in Dot plots of the measured variables (sIgA, salivary flow rate and sIgA secretion), for the treated and placebo groups, at the different time-points (in abscissa axis). The thick line in each set of points represents the median value. Orange dots are about the treated group, while blue dots are about the control group.Considering salivary flux, repeated measures ANOVA revealed non-significant overall time (FConsidering sIgA, repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant time (FImmunoglobulin A (sIgA) relative change along the study period. Phase refers to before the supplementation period (pre-suppl), after 30 days of supplementation (post-suppl), immediately after the last training session (post-exer 0h), and the remaining time-points refer respectively to 24h and 72h after the last training session (post-exer 24h and 72h). Orange dots are about the treated group, while blue dots are about the control group.Finally, considering sIgA secretion, repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant time (F
