Key result
Anxious trait was associated with a greater stress response to a selective race, including higher mental fatigue, sympathetic activation, and sleep fragmentation compared to non-anxious subjects.
Why the study?
Does baseline anxiety status affect the psycho-physiological stress response to a selective race in young male military personnel?
Population
63 young male military personnel
Comparison
Selective race (an 8 km commando-walk) vs Non-anxious group vs Anxious group
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
up to the day after the race

Anxiety screening should not yet guide athlete management; hypothesis-generating for stress mitigation in anxious military personnel.
Observational (n=63)
Does baseline anxiety status affect the psycho-physiological stress response to a selective race in young male military personnel?
Baseline anxiety exacerbates the psycho-physiological stress response to competitive exercise, highlighting the potential need for anxiety management in professional athletes.
Tanguy et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Stress response to competitive sport exercise (n=63). Anxious trait vs. Non-anxious trait was evaluated on Stress response to exercise (psychometric variables and physiological nocturnal stress biomarkers). Anxious trait was associated with a greater stress response to a selective race, including higher mental fatigue, sympathetic activation, and sleep fragmentation compared to non-anxious subjects.
