Abstract

The mood state profile and the concentration of salivary cortisol in “soccer seven” players, aged over 55 years, were analyzed before, during and after a competitive match. Nineteen players were assessed using the Mood State Profile and the concentration of salivary cortisol at different times of the game. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, Anova of Repeated Measures and Spearman correlation. Regarding personal characteristics, that practitioners of "soccer seven" have a level of physical activity considered very active (31.60%), active (47.40%), total of seventy-nine percent (79,0%), and 21.10% self-assessed themselves as irregularly active. At the end of the game, the variables related to the mood profile changed, but there was no statistically significant difference between the pre-match and the other moments of the match. On the other hand, there was a significant increase (four times) in the salivary cortisol concentration between pre-match and after 40 minutes of match. It is concluded that the practice of "soccer seven" as a competitive practice is a source of stress for players over 55 years old.
