| Abstract |
Life-event stress (LES) was used to classify elite athletes (n = 39) into high- and low-LES groups. A repeated measures analysis of variance revealed higher cortisol concentration after a graded exercise lest among the high-LES group relative to the low-LES group, which was maintained for up to 20 hr. Subsequent prospective analyses further indicated that high-LES athletes were more likely lo he symptomatic than low-LES athletes and that elevated cortisol level was positively correlated with symptomatology. To the extent that cortisol is a marker of exercise recovery in competitive athletes. our results suggest that chronic stress prolongs the recovery process, which may potentially widen a window of susceptibility for illness and injury among competitive athletes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 June 2022.
All research outputs
#3,318,735
of 23,577,761 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Behavioral Medicine
#155
of 925 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,535
of 24,822 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Behavioral Medicine
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,761 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 925 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 24,822 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
