Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Athletes undergoing heavy exercise training often experience significant psychological and physiological stress.
  • Mood state and cortisol levels are key indicators of an athlete's physiological and psychological adaptation to training.
  • Cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) is a potential intervention to mitigate stress in athletes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a time-limited cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) program on mood state and serum cortisol.
  • To assess the effectiveness of CBSM in male and female rowers during a period of intensive training.
  • To investigate the relationship between mood changes and cortisol levels following CBSM intervention.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 34 male and female rowers undergoing heavy exercise training.
  • Participants were assigned to either a cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) group or a control group.
  • Life-event stress (LES) was measured and controlled for as a covariate in the analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Rowers in the CBSM group showed significant reductions in depressed mood, fatigue, and serum cortisol compared to the control group, after controlling for LES.
    • Decreases in negative affect and fatigue were positively correlated with decreases in cortisol levels.
    • Life-event stress (LES) was associated with higher negative affect at the study's commencement.

    Conclusions:

    • A time-limited cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) program can positively influence athletes' adaptation to heavy exercise training.
    • CBSM may be an effective strategy for reducing psychological distress and physiological stress markers like cortisol in athletes.
    • The findings highlight the interplay between psychological well-being and physiological stress response in athletic performance.
