To analyze whether there are changes in salivary cortisol concentration levels before and after resistance exercises, with different rest periods. The sample was20 individuals allocated in 2 groups with: resistance exercise 30secandresistance exercise60sec. They performed plyometric jumps followed by squat. The salivary sample was collected to measure salivary cortisol concentration. There was no difference in cortisol concentration between pre and post exercise in any intervention (p> 0.05). The protocol used did not alter salivary cortisol after resistance exercise.
