biomarker for the analysis of stress
in a motivational fit-situation

Is stress as a

potential mediator to
explain the better
performances in
motivational fit-situations?
motivation

Dr. Sebastian SchwabInstitute of Cognitive and Team/Racket Sport Research
The participants‘ stress level in fit-situations remains constant or
rather decreases, whereas under non-fit-conditions an increase of
the stress activity will be observed.

alpha amylase• is an index for stress-induced activity of the sympathetic
nervous system (SNS) (Rohleder & Nater, 2009, Psychoneuroendocrinology)
• non-invasive with a saliva sample
• responds to stress immediately and without great time delay in comparison to cortisol (Strahler, 2012)
• also applicable in possible field studies
• apeears to be a reliable, simple, saliva based indirect marker of the SNS-activity (Nater & Rohleder, 2009, Psychoneuroendocrinology; Rohleder & Nater, 2009, Psychoneuroendocrinology)

alpha amylase correlates with (nor-)adrenalin

alpha amylase – sampling methods
drooling
spittingsucition absorption
Rohleder and Nater (2009) summarized that for saliva sampling, salivettes and passive drooling are both equally well suited.

non-fit fit
64 male students between 20 and 33
years (M = 24.29, SD = 3.123)
r = -0.249, p < .05
Dr. Sebastian SchwabInstitute of Cognitive and Team/Racket Sport Research
• task enjoyment: r = 0.181, p = .076 (clear trend)
• motivation: r = 0.219, p < .05
Participants are more motivated when being in a relative fit-situation compared
to a relative non-fit-situation.

discussion
• Our data indicate that the SNS was influenced by a motivational
task: sAA activity of participants in a fit-situation decreased,
while it increased in a non-fit-situation.
• Differential effects on the SNS could be seen as a possible
mediator to explain the benefits of a fit-situation in contrast to a
non-fit-situation.
Dr. Sebastian SchwabInstitute of Cognitive and Team/Racket Sport Research
future prospects • Future research designs should try to replicate these findings
with the help of cognitive and motor performance tasks that
have already been used under rgulatory fit-aspects.
• With different tasks and questionnaires, it would be possible to
evaluate whether participants under fit-conditions perform better
than participants under non-fit-conditions, along with
determining sAA activity of participants in a fit-situation
decreases versus that of participants in a non-fit-situation.
