ABSTRACT. Volatile organic compounds have an essential role in globally impactful disease activity and an individual’s health condition. Saliva also has volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in its composition, and VOCs are being discovered as possible biomarkers for oral diseases. The present study is conducted to evaluate the effect of dance, games, and exercise on the metabolic profile of human saliva. A total of 68 healthy participants were included in the study. Unstimulated saliva (taken as control, n = 29 for exercise, n = 26 for cricket activity, and n = 13 for dance activity) and stimulated saliva (n = 29 for exercise, n = 26 for cricket activity, and n = 13 for dance activity) were taken before and after all three activities. Those who had any metabolic disorder, such as any cardiovascular disease, eating disorder, or any oral disease, such as mouth dryness, any kind of allergy, or smoking habits, were excluded from the study. Metabolic profiling of saliva was done using the GC-MS technique. There were 21 metabolites discovered before the cricket activity, and 24 metabolites were found after the cricket activity. 13 metabolites were discovered before the dance activity, 16 metabolites were discovered after the dance activity. 11 metabolites were discovered before the exercise activity, and 17 metabolites were discovered after the exercise activity. Lately, new metabolic markers of sports performance and exercise tolerance have been identified by salivary metabolomics. Our study found changes in saliva composition before and after different physical activities. Different metabolites were found before and after the different physical activities. Important metabolites distinguishing in our study were triethyl phosphate, geraniol, citronellol, and tetrapentacontane, 1,54-dibromo-. The area percentage of triethyl phosphate was 20.14% before the cricket activity. The area percentage of geraniol was also changed before and after dance and exercise activity. The area percentage of geraniol was 6.62% before the exercise activity, and after the exercise activity, it was 8.30%. Citronellol was formed after the exercise with an area percentage of 5.64%. The Area percentage of geraniol was 8.78% before and after the dance activity; it was 4.05%. Changes have also been found in the area percentage of tetrapentacontane, 1,54-dibromo- in all three activities.
