“…When comparing our results with those published by other authors this accumulation of training, not during a specific week as we have studied, but assessing up to 7 consecutive weeks of top-level training, show that a higher increase in salivary cortisol appears from the fifth week, as well as an increase in the perception of stress among the players' [35]. In this same sense, a progressive increase of salivary cortisol throughout the whole season as a result of top-level physical activity is correlated with a gradual increase in physical and emotional or mental exhaustion in the last weeks of the season, that can end up leading to a loss in interest for professional sports or even depression [36]. However, it should be noted that a strong increase in resting cortisol levels signals excessive fatigue from training [37]; whereas an adrenocortical dysfunction or "burnout" of the HPA axis occurs in athletes with excessive physical activity, and is manifested by a lower-than-normal cortisol secretion immediately after exercise [38].…”

Elite basketball training causes high levels of physiological stress, which can lead to negative physiological disorders in female athletes. The aim of this study was to establish the impact of physical activity on the rhythm of salivary cortisol secretion in elite female basketball players over one week. The population sample included 9 women professional basketball players. The control group was made up of 9 women who did not do any exercise. Saliva samples were collected from all participants at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. on training days. Samples from the basketball group showed a significantly higher cortisol secretion. Moreover, from the second night, the pattern of cortisol secretion of these players was reversed, showing higher levels of cortisol in saliva at night than in the morning. The results suggest that the secretion rhythm changed over the course of the week and according to competitive demands.

“…While the connection between physiological data and stress is established in the literature (e.g., Sharma & Gedeon, 2012), studies linking physiological data and burnout are not common -a search on Scopus using the keywords "burnout" and "heart rate variability" yields 95 results, whereas a search for "stress" and "heart rate variability" produces above 6,500 results. The few studies investigating the relationship between burnout and physiological data are usually conducted under controlled settings (e.g., Gupta et al, 2021;Lo et al, 2020) and use more obtrusive and disruptive hardware, like electrocardiogram (ECG), to capture HRV (Gupta et al, 2021;Thielmann et al, 2021) and finger-placed sensors to capture EDA (Monfared et al, 2021). Those devices are not practical to be deployed in the field, i.e., in health care organizations.…”

Health care professionals (HCPs) are frequently exposed to Human Factors/Ergonomics (HFE) issues that result in stress, adversely affecting their health and negatively impacting the quality of care. Chronic stress can result in burnout, with negative implications for individuals, health care organizations, and patients. Current approaches to monitor burnout are reactive and require additional work (e.g., survey completion). In this study, we pilot a methodology using unobtrusive sensors and advanced statistics to bridge this important gap. We collected two types of physiological data - heart rate variability (HRV) and electrodermal activity (EDA) - and measures of perceived workload and burnout from three HCPs in a COVID-19 Testing Laboratory. We identified meaningful relationships between physiological data, workload, and burnout, demonstrating that burnout can be identified proactively using real-time sensor data. Future work will expand the timeframe of data collection and include a larger sample with different types of HCPs.

“…In contrast to adults, children and adolescent elite athletes' hormonal responses to exercise is rarely studied in relations to OT and OTS. These are key factors in early burnout which can be associated with C levels [36].…”

Background: Continuously rising performances in elite adolescent athletes requires increasing training loads. This training overload without professional monitoring, could lead to overtraining in these adolescents. Methods: 31 elite adolescent athletes (boys: n = 19, 16 yrs; girls: n = 12, 15 yrs) participated in a field-test which contained a unified warm-up and a 200 m maximal freestyle swimming test. Saliva samples for testosterone (T) in boys, estradiol (E) in girls and cortisol (C) in both genders were collected pre-, post- and 30 min post-exercise. Lactate levels were obtained pre- and post-exercise. Brunel Mood Scale, Perceived Stress Scale and psychosomatic symptoms questionnaires were filled out post-exercise. Results: Lactate levels differed between genders (boys: pre: 1.01 ± 0.26; post: 8.19 ± 3.24; girls: pre: 0.74 ± 0.23; post: 5.83 ± 2.48 mmol/L). C levels increased significantly in boys: pre- vs. post- (p = 0.009), pre- vs. 30 min post-exercise (p = 0.003). The T level (p = 0.0164) and T/C ratio (p = 0.0004) decreased after field test which draws attention to the possibility of overtraining. Maximal and resting heart rates did not differ between genders; however, heart rate recovery did (boys: 29.22 ± 7.4; girls: 40.58 ± 14.50 beats/min; p = 0.008). Conclusions: Our models can be used to explain the hormonal ratio changes (37.5–89.8%). Based on the results this method can induce hormonal response in elite adolescent athletes and can be used to notice irregularities with repeated measurements.
