Introduction: Salivary peroxidase possesses has antioxidant properties that protect the mouth against free radicals and the rate of saliva secretion serves as an indicator of oral health. Sedentary people may face a decrease in the efficiency of these systems due to an inactive lifestyle. The purpose of this study was to investigate sports activity and its effect on salivary peroxidase and the amount of saliva flow in healthy sedentary people.
Methods: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis, conducted according to the principles of Cochrane and PRISMA. We searched for articles published in Persian and English from January 1, 2000 to October 31, 2024 using the PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, SID, and Irandoc databases and entered into the meta-analysis. We conducted meta-analyses using fixed and random effects models to determine the average effect size (difference in mean with 95% confidence interval) in research related to Peroxidase (10 studies), and salivary flow rates (12 studies) were done with the help of CMA2 software. Also, heterogeneity was evaluated using the (I2) test, and publication bias was evaluated by visual analysis of the funnel plot and Egger's test.
Results: The results showed that physical exercise increases the activity of salivary peroxidase (ES=0.92, 95% CI=1.15 to 0.70, p=0.001). However, as a results showed, the amount of salivary flow rate does not change significantly (ES=0.02, 95% CI=0.27 to -0.23, p=0.87).
Conclusion: Physical exercise enhances health and boosts immune function, leading to a significant increase in the antioxidant capacity of saliva, which is vital for combating oxidative stress.
