  • 소개/요약This study determined the effect of 8?wk of mindfulness training (MT) on salivary cortisol (sCort) and rate of salivary Immunoglobulin-A (sIgA) secretion in wheelchair-basketball players during a competition period. The mindful group completed 8?weeks of MT in addition to training and competition. sCort and rate of sIgA secretion were measured at baseline, at 2-week intervals, the end and 2?weeks following the intervention. A significant time and group interaction was observed for sCort (F?=?3.297,?P?=?0.040,?ES?=?0.191); sCort increased in the control group from MT-BL to MT-2wk (P?=?0.001) and remained significantly elevated at MT-4wk (P?=?0.013) and MT-6wk (P?=?0.002). sCort decreased from MT-6wk to MT-8wk (P? ?0.05). Mindful group sCort increased from MT-BL to MT-2wk (P?=?0.042) but decreased to concentrations no different to MT-BL for the rest of the intervention period (P?>?0.05). There were no group differences in rate of sIgA secretion during the intervention (P?=?0.810). It was concluded that 8?weeks of MT attenuated the increase in sCort associated with the competition period.
