Assessment of psychological stress of athletes through the Cortisol Awakening Response

使用皮质醇唤醒反应（CAR）对运动员的应激状态进行量化。在连续三天的训练负荷中检查情绪和CAR的变化。结果表明，感受随训练负荷的变化而发生显著变化；然而，CAR没有明显变化。提示CAR可能不受急性训练负荷引起的应激的高度影响。这与主观量表不同，比如评估情绪的量表。提示CAR可能是一种与长期应激有关的内分泌指标。

The state of stress in athletes was quantified by using the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR). Changes in moods and changes in CAR were examined during a training load consisting of three continuous days of training. The results indicated that feelings changed significantly depending on changes in the training load; however, there were no significant changes in CAR. It is suggested that CAR might not be highly affected by stress caused by acute training load. This is different from subjective scales, such as those assessing moods. It is suggested that CAR is a possible internal secretion indicator related to long-term stress.
