Anxiety level modulates endocrine and neuromodulatory responses to maximal exercise and 24-h recovery in elite rowers
Anxiety level measured before maximal rowing was associated with distinct endocrine and neuromodulatory response patterns, indicating greater internal load despite similar external performance. These findings may support individualized recovery strategies in high-performance sport. The sample size and elite-athlete characteristics may limit the broader applicability of the findings.
