The result of our experiments specifies between saliva density (p=0.01, t (16) =4.513) saliva testosterone (t (16) = 4.845, p=0.001) and over training before and after the exercise (p=0.05, t (16) =-3.882). But no significance psychological skill differences have seen during these exercises courses. Concerning these observation and achievement we came to conclusion that during national rowing team preparation exercise would effected on athletic woman testosterone and saliva cortisol hormones and over training.
