In this study we investigate whether serum \u03b1-amylase concentration may be associated with training status during a competitive season and after a detraining period in professional soccer players. <strong>METHODS<\/strong>: The study population consisted in 15 male professional soccer players from an Italian major league team (age (mean\u00b1SD) 27\u00b15 years, weight 76.9\u00b14.1 kg, height 1.82\u00b10.05 m). Serum \u03b1-amylase levels were measured 3 times during the last part of a competitive season (January, March and May) and just before preseason training (July). <strong>RESULTS: <\/strong>Metabolic and cardiovascular fitness of soccer players was improved during the last part of the season. The levels of \u03b1-amylase did not change significantly throughout the study period (\u03c72 = 7.331, p = 0.062), nor they were found to be associated with variation of physical fitness and training status. <strong>CONCLUSION:<\/strong> The \u03b1-amylase fluctuations throughout a competitive season and after vacation time were meaningless in professional soccer players. No significant associations with physical fitness variations could be observed. These results suggest that \u03b1-amylase concentration may be a useful parameter for identifying individual inclination to endurance exercise, but not for predicting actual training status.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">J Sports Med Phys Fitness. 2015 Dec 1.
