Agradecimentos: Firstly, the authors would like to thank all the master athletes that volunteered to participate in this study. The Research Center for Sport and Physical Activity (UID/DTP/04213/2016), Faculty of Sports Sciences and Physical Education, and the University of Coimbra funded the study. Also, the present manuscript was accomplished with support from CAPES, Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, Brazil. We appreciate the contribution of Professor Fabio Santos de Lira to reviewing the manuscript. The results of the study are presented clearly, honestly, and without fabrication, falsification, or inappropriate data manipulation
Astract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a training season (approximately 7 months) on physiological and salivary immune-endocrine markers in master athletes. Nine male master athletes were evaluated at the beginning of the season (M1) and a week after the main official competition at the end of the sports season (M2). The controlled variables included Maximal oxygen consumption, anthropometric, physiological, and salivary immune-endocrine markers. Master athletes presented a reduced percentage of fat mass and increased lean body mass at the end of the season. VO2max values were similar at M1 and M2, while the maximal heart rate and lactate were lower at M2. No differences were observed in Immunoglobulin A and cortisol levels between moments, whereas testosterone levels and the testosterone/cortisol ratio were significantly lower at the end of the season. The results suggest that maintaining regular training throughout life has positive effects on body composition and improves physiological fitness. However, care should be taken to avoid fatigue as indicated by lower testosterone levels at the end of the season
