    Abstract: The purpose of  the present study, is to examine high intensity wrestling training effects on salvia S-IgA concentration in young wrestlers. For this purpose, 30 young wrestlers participated in this study. The experimental group performed wrestling specific training. The salvia samples collected at rest, at the end of the 1st 5 weeks of wrestling training, at the end of the 2nd 5 weeks and at the end  of  the  recovery  period. Salvia S-IgA was measured with ELISA method. At rest, the salvia immunoglobulin A concentrations were similar in both groups (p = 0.462). At the end of the 1st 5 weeks of training, the salvia S-IgA concentrations of the experimental group had a significant decrease of 39% (p = 0.087)  compared  to  the  control  group. But at the end of the 2nd 5 weeks training and at the termination of the recovery period, mucosal secretary S-IgA concentrations indicated no significant differences between the 2 groups.
