“…Although, the levels of enzymes and antibacterial compounds are far lower in saliva than blood samples (Papacosta and Nassis 2011), these levels are closely correlated (Cadore et al 2008;Tanner et al 2014;VanBruggen et al 2011). Thus, sIgA and sAA activity can be determined frequently without interfering with the training and daily routine of the athletes (Gatti and De Palo 2011;Papacosta and Nassis 2011).…”

The circadian variation of sIgA and sAA activity, biomarkers of mucosal immune function, as well as mood were similar on the first day of training when repeated double-poling sprints were performed with or without hypoxia. Only with RSH did the levels of sIgA and sAA activity rise with time, becoming maximal after six training sessions, when mood was still lowered. Therefore, six sessions of RSH reduced mood, but did not impair mucosal immune function.

“…Previously studies have reported that during bouts of intense exercise the adrenal cortex secretes high concentrations of cortisol above the CBG binding point (14,15) . Furthermore, cortisol is commonly known for being elevated during times of psychological stress.…”

Venipuncture is expensive, invasive, and impractical for many sport-science and clinical-based settings. Salivary free cortisol is often cited as a noninvasive practical alternative. However, when cortisol concentrations exceed the corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) point of 500 nmol/L, a lack of agreement between salivary and venous blood cortisol has been found. Alternatively, capillary blood may present a minimally invasive, cost-effective, and practical surrogate for determining cortisol concentration.Purpose:The aim of this study was to determine whether cortisol concentrations sampled from capillary blood and saliva accurately reflect those found in venous blood across a large range of concentrations after intense exercise.Methods:Eleven healthy aerobically trained male subjects were recruited. Capillary, salivary, and venous blood samples were collected before and after (immediately and 5, 10, 15, and 20 min after) a treadmill VO2 max test.Results:Capillary and venous concentrations increased at a similar rate after exercise (Cohen d.14–.33), increasing up to 15 min postexercise before a decline was seen. Salivary cortisol values increased at a slower rate than venous and capillary cortisol but continued to increase 15 min postexercise (Cohen d .19–.47 and .09–.72, respectively).Conclusions:Capillary cortisol accurately reflects concentrations assayed from venous blood across a range of values below and above the CBG binding point. Capillary sampling provides a minimally invasive, cost-effective, practical surrogate for assessment of hypothalamic-pituitary-gland function.

“…Cortisol is most likely the chief hormone that increases the breakdown of fat depositions in response to the physical stress during exercise 9 . However, too much cortisol can also induce the distress as after a certain limit, it begins to catabolize the proteins from the muscles 10 .…”

Objective Aroma or scent therapy is one of the traditional treatments, which is presumed to be helpful in supporting and balancing the mind, body and soul. It is a complementary therapy that has been clinically proven to be beneficial in improving various attributes of life. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of aromatherapy on the physiological vitals of the healthy females. Methodology an observational study has been conducted to determine the effectiveness of Aromatherapy on Vitals and Physical Factors. This study targeted to recruit a small set of healthy females for the study. All the readings were collected at room temperature, between the months of November 2015 to January 2016. The recordings were compared by the two-tailed test, with probability taken as 1, to detect the influence of aromatherapy on physiological workings of the healthy human body that has been exposed to the physical strain due to the moderate level of exercise. The test involved the comparative analysis of the physiological vitals of those females who exercised regularly; their vitals were evaluated after a course of physical activity in two sets i.e. with and without aromatherapy. Result The result showed a significant difference in the pre and post status mainly in the readings for the cardiac output, pulse rate and body temperature, increases after physical activity of average intensity and is further supported by the aromatherapy. Conclusion The study came to the conclusion that aromatherapy has beneficial influences on the rate of body metabolism.
