There has been published only one quasi-experimental study on this topic to date, reporting a negative association between stress and proprioceptive accuracy. The aim of the present study was to explore whether the stress response influences proprioceptive accuracy in a randomized and controlled experimental setting.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Participants (M<jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub> =\u2009 20.4 yrs, SD<jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub> =\u2009 1.91 yrs) were randomly assigned to a stress (n =\u2009 29) and a control (n =\u2009 28) group. Psychological stress was induced via an online quiz involving time pressure and instant feedback on performance. Participants\u2019 perceived (state anxiety) and physiological (heart rate, heart rate variability, skin conductance level) stress response and proprioceptive accuracy (the active and passive version of the Joint Position Reproduction test for the elbow joint) were measured before and after the experimental manipulation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The quiz substantially increased only participants\u2019 perceived stress however, proprioceptive accuracy was not impacted by the experimental manipulation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Perceived stress does not impact proprioceptive accuracy.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0319061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,3]],"date-time":"2025-03-03T18:39:43Z","timestamp":1741027183000},"page":"e0319061","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Acute psychological stress does not influence joint position reproduction performance in the elbow joint"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1114-5734","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Adam","family":"Koncz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ferenc","family":"K\u00f6teles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Blanka","family":"Aranyossy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9403-2086","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"\u00c1ron","family":"Horv\u00e1th","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0319061.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1651","DOI":"10.1152\/physrev.00048.2011","article-title":"The proprioceptive senses: their roles in signaling body shape, body position and movement, and muscle force","volume":"92","author":"U Proske","year":"2012","journal-title":"Physiol Rev"},{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0319061.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"665","DOI":"10.1111\/sjop.12753","article-title":"Nocebo effects on motor performance: a systematic literature review","volume":"62","author":"A Horv\u00e1th","year":"2021","journal-title":"Scand J Psychol"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0319061.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"80","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jshs.2014.10.004","article-title":"Assessing proprioception: a critical review of methods","volume":"5","author":"J Han","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Sport Health Sci"},{"key":"pone.0319061.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.4135\/9781071801390","volume-title":"Stress and Health.
