This study investigated associations between pre\u2010competitive Delta CAR, competitive outcome, anxiety\u2010related variables, and cortisol fluctuations on an official competition day among elite female field hockey players. Fifty\u2010two elite female field hockey players participated in this study during the Spanish Championship Cup. Salivary cortisol samples were collected at awakening (C0), 30\u00a0min after awakening (C1), 30\u00a0min before warm\u2010up (C2), and 30\u00a0min after competition (C3). CAR was calculated as the difference between C1 and C0. Athletes also completed the Self\u2010Assessment Manikin (SAM), Likert\u2010style affective self\u2010reports, and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory\u20102 Revised (CSAI\u20102). Significant within\u2010subject cortisol fluctuations were observed across the competition day. Players who eventually lost their matches exhibited higher CAR values than those who eventually won (rank\u2010biserial\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a00.58,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). CAR was moderately associated with cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, perceived difficulty, and arousal\u2010related variables. In addition, defeated players showed higher post\u2010competition cortisol concentrations than winners. In an ecologically valid elite competition setting, CAR varied substantially between athletes, showed partial associations with anxiety\u2010related and affective variables, and was associated with eventual competitive outcome. These findings suggest that CAR may reflect a context\u2010sensitive anticipatory endocrine response associated with competitive demands rather than a deterministic biomarker of stress or performance.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/smi.70199","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,6]],"date-time":"2026-07-06T04:27:48Z","timestamp":1783312068000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Anticipatory Cortisol Regulation During Competition in Elite Female Field Hockey Players"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Jorge","family":"Garc\u00eda\u2010Bastida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Educaci\u00f3n y Humanidades Universidad Internacional de la Rioja  Logro\u00f1o Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5877-3482","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Educaci\u00f3n y Humanidades Universidad Internacional de la Rioja  Logro\u00f1o Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0639-1298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jana","family":"Gallardo\u2010P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Educaci\u00f3n y Humanidades Universidad Internacional de la Rioja  Logro\u00f1o Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1533-8069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iv\u00e1n","family":"Rivilla\u2010Arias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Educaci\u00f3n y Humanidades Universidad Internacional de la Rioja  Logro\u00f1o Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1450-3541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jer\u00f3nimo Carmelo","family":"Garc\u00eda\u2010Romero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Medicina Universidad de M\u00e1laga  M\u00e1laga Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guillermo","family":"S\u00e1nchez\u2010Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Medicina Universidad de M\u00e1laga  M\u00e1laga Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpsycho.2017.12.007"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","first-page":"322","article-title":"Changes of Pituitary, Adrenal and Gonadal Hormones During Competition Among Female Soccer Players","volume":"46","author":"Aizawa K.","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2017\u20100740"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40798\u2010017\u20100102\u20103"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","first-page":"150","article-title":"Propiedades psicom\u00e9tricas de la versi\u00f3n espa\u00f1ola del Inventario de Ansiedad Competitiva CSAI\u20102R en deportistas","volume":"19","author":"Andrade Fern\u00e1ndez E.
