Brief Summary

The oral cavity is an easily accessible anatomical site that accurately reflects the health of the individual. The mouth is considered an early indicator of biological aging, leading to the identification of oral biomarkers predictive of future alterations. Current data show that the oral health of high level athletes is globally altered with an increase in cariogenic indexes, an increased incidence of periodontitis, dental trauma and dry mouth syndromes. Few studies have focused on the oral microbiota compared to mouthguards used in rugby or boxing which seem to induce dysbiosis, a recent study shows an effect of ketogenic diet on bacterial changes in the mouth of endurance athletes. This project focuses on the impact of intensive sport practice on oral health and the identification of oral biomarkers associated with physical activity. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of the amount of endurance sport practice on oral microbiota and oral health in young adults. the hypothesis is that a sedentary lifestyle and high-level sport induce depletion and/or changes in the oral microbiota compared to regular physical activity.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
OMS recommandations	salivar and gum sampling	Participant does not meet WHO's recommendations (2.5-5 hours per week of moderate physical activity OR 1.25-2.5 hours per week of vigorous physical activity);
sedentary	salivar and gum sampling	Participant does not meet WHO's recommendations with the physical activity
More than the OMS recommandations	salivar and gum sampling	Participant is practicing physical activity more than the WHO recommendations

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Analysis of the oral microbiota in healthy individuals engaged in endurance physical activity at different levels.	3 years	Microbiological screening will be performed using an innovative methodology based on microfluidic PCR (BiomarkHD) (number of bacterial colonies)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Quantification of salivary inflammatory markers in healthy individuals who perform endurance physical activity at different levels.	3 years	numer and type of salivary inflammatory markers will performed using multiplex analysis technology developed by the firm Meso Scale Diagnostic (MSD).
