Salivary IgA levels and infection risk in elite swimmers
The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between changes in salivary IgA and training volume, psychological stress,
and infection rates in a cohort of 26 elite swimmers over a 7-month training period and to compare the changes with a group of 12
moderately exercising controls. The results indicate that measurement of salivary IgA levels over a training season may be predictive for athletes at risk of infection.
