Why the study?
Does salivary α-amylase measurement accurately estimate anaerobic threshold compared to gas analysis and double-product breakpoint in healthy young adults during incremental exercise?
Does salivary α-amylase measurement accurately estimate anaerobic threshold compared to gas analysis and double-product breakpoint in healthy young adults during incremental exercise?
Salivary α-amylase threshold is a valid and potentially superior non-invasive method for estimating anaerobic threshold during incremental exercise compared to double-product breakpoint.
