Impact of Salivary Amino Acid Concentrations on 8 km Running Performance in Male Undergraduate Students: A Prospective Observational Study Based on HPLC
This study found a positive correlation between salivary threonine and 8 km running speed, along with differences in serine and glutamine concentrations among runners with different speeds. These findings provide preliminary evidence for the relationship between salivary amino acid concentrations and running performance, though further research with larger samples and diverse exercise types is needed.
