Purpose./ The primary purpose of this study was to determine if there was a correlation between the physiological signs of over-training and the psychological signs of over-training in collegiate wrestlers. Method./ The RESTQ-Sport Questionnaire was used to evaluate the subjects' psychological recovery status. The salivary cortisol testing was used to measure the physiological response to training and recovery. The Recovery-Stress Questionnaire for Athletes was administered each time a saliva sample was obtained. The saliva collection protocol was followed in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by Salimetrics. Each subject was given a cup of water, and then instructed to thoroughly rinse his mouth by swishing one mouthful of water in the attempt to cleanse the teeth and mouth cavity of unwanted materials. The subjects were provided a 2 ml tube labeled with the subjects' identifying numbers. The subjects slowly expectorated 2 ml of un-stimulated saliva. This process took approximately 10 minutes.
