55% of total fluid losses incurred during exercise. USA) Motorized Treadmill Thirst [nine-point (1–9) Likert scale] Blood Sample Physical Activity and Saliva Viscosity Authors Year Location of Study Key Features Parameters/Tests Performed (Dawes, 1981) 1981 - A striking finding of the present study was the very high protein concentration in the saliva collected from most of the subjects immediately after exercise. The elevated protein concentration after exercise may account for the subjective feeling of increased salivary viscosity which is typically experienced. Saliva Samples (Ljungberg et al., 1997) 1997 Stockholm The increase in concentration of total protein after the race may be one explanation for the subjective feeling of increased salivary viscosity recorded as the index for dry mouth. Blood and Saliva Samples Water Intake (A. J. M. Ligtenberg et al., 2015) 2015 Amsterdam During exercise the viscosity of saliva increases. Saliva Sample (A. Ligtenberg et al., 2016) 2016 Canada In conclusion, this study shows that there is a temporary increase in the viscosity of saliva immediately after moderate exercise, which is probably caused by an increase of the MUC5B secretion rate.
