The relationships between psychophysiological variables were investigated by comparing physiological responses (salivary cortisol and testosterone concentrations) and psychological responses (measured by the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 -CSAI-2-and by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory -STAY-) prior to judo competitions at two levels (regional versus interregional).
Twelve male judo competitors at interregional level (mean age 22.2+/-1.6 years) entered the experimentation after informed consent. Judo athletes completed the CSAI-2 prior to both competitions and collected saliva for cortisol and testosterone analysis on three occasions: during a resting day (baseline values) and prior to and after both competitions. Trait scales of the STAI (Y-2) were used during a resting baseline period with no stressful situations in order to measure participant's self reported anxiety.
Cognitive and somatic anxiety were higher in interregional championships compared to regional championships whereas self-confidence was significantly lower. Cortisol levels increased sharply (about 2.5 fold resting levels) throughout both competitions with no changes in testosterone levels. Positive relationships between anxiety components (somatic and cognitive anxiety) and cortisol were noted in both competitions.
Salivary cortisol, together with anxiety components, may provide a better sensitive index of physiological stress than testosterone concentrations.
通过比较两个级别（地区级与地区间级）柔道比赛前的生理反应（唾液皮质醇和睾酮浓度）和心理反应（用竞赛状态焦虑量表-2 -CSAI-2-以及状态-特质焦虑量表-STAI-测量），研究心理生理变量之间的关系。
12名地区间级别的男性柔道运动员（平均年龄22.2±1.6岁）在签署知情同意书后进入实验。柔道运动员在两场比赛前均完成CSAI-2，并在三个时间点采集唾液用于皮质醇和睾酮分析：在休息日（基线值）以及两场比赛前和比赛后。在无压力情境的休息基线期使用STAI（Y-2）的特质量表来测量参与者自我报告的焦虑。
与地区锦标赛相比，地区间锦标赛中的认知焦虑和躯体焦虑更高，而自信心显著更低。在两场比赛中，皮质醇水平均急剧上升（约为休息时水平的2.5倍），睾酮水平无变化。在两场比赛中均观察到焦虑成分（躯体焦虑和认知焦虑）与皮质醇之间存在正相关关系。
唾液皮质醇与焦虑成分一起，可能比睾酮浓度提供更好的生理应激敏感指标。
