Key result
A standardised training bout in Paralympic swimmers elicited acute changes in HRV and salivary biomarkers, including RMSSD (ES = 1.30) and sAA (ES = -4.69) following a competition weekend.

May support integrated HRV-sAA monitoring in elite athletes; hypothesis-generating for Paralympic validation.
Observational
Used together, HRV and salivary alpha-amylase provide valuable information regarding physiological changes in response to training and competition in elite athletes.
Leicht et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Paralympic swimmers. Standardised training bout was evaluated on Acute training responses of heart rate variability (HRV) and salivary biomarkers (immunoglobulin A and alpha-amylase). A standardised training bout in Paralympic swimmers elicited acute changes in HRV and salivary biomarkers, including RMSSD (ES = 1.30) and sAA (ES = -4.69) following a competition weekend.
