NCT ID NCT07681362
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how team athletes' bodies respond to short, intense cycling and longer, moderate cycling. Researchers measure two key substances in saliva: cortisol (a stress hormone) and interleukin-6 (an immune signal). The goal is to see if athletes with different fitness levels show different responses. Participants are healthy team athletes aged 18 to 35 who do at least three training sessions per week.
