Changes in Stress and Appetite Responses in Male Power-Trained Athletes during Intensive Training Camp
Open accessAbstract
An intensive consecutive high-volume training camp may induce appetite loss in athletes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the changes in stress and appetite responses in male power-trained athletes during an intensive training camp. The measurements at Day 2 and at the end of a 9-day intensive training camp (Camp1 and Camp2, respectively) were compared with those of the resting period (Rest) and the regular training period (Regular; n = 13). The stress state was assessed based on plasma cortisol level, salivary immunoglobulin A level, and a profile of mood states score. The sensation of appetite was assessed using visual analog scale scores, and fasting plasma acylated ghrelin, insulin, and glucose were measured. The cortisol concentrations were significantly higher at Camp2 (466.7 ± 60.7 nmol∙L−1) than at Rest (356.3 ± 100.9 nmol∙L−1; p = 0.002) or Regular (361.7 ± 111.4 nmol∙L−1; p = 0.003). Both prospective and actual food consumption significantly decreased at Camp2, and acylated ghrelin concentration was significantly lower at Camp1 (34.2 ± 8.0 pg∙mL−1) and Camp2 (32.0 ± 8.7 pg∙mL−1) than at Rest (47.2 ± 11.2 pg∙mL−1) or Regular (53.4 ± 12.6 pg∙mL−1). Furthermore, the change in acylated ghrelin level was negatively correlated with the change in cortisol concentration. This study’s findings suggest that an early-phase physiological stress response may decrease the acylated ghrelin level in male power-trained athletes during an intensive training camp.

Under such conditions, there is a significant secretion of cortisol in the adrenal glands, which increases catabolism and inhibits the regeneration process.
“Under such conditions, there is a significant secretion of cortisol in the adrenal glands, which undoubtedly increases catabolism and inhibits the regeneration process [42].”
From Influence of Sunlight and Oral D3 Supplementation on Serum 25(OH)D Concentration and Exercise Performance in Elite Soccer Players (2020) · cites this paper as [42]
The Discussion identifies the adrenal cortex as the source of cortisol, and Results §3.3 reports significantly higher plasma cortisol at the end of the intensive training camp. The paper does not show that this increase caused greater catabolism or inhibited regeneration; those effects are not established by its measurements. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIntensive training and matches are conducive to the occurrence of stress, both physical and mental.
“Such conditions are undoubtedly conducive to the occurrence of stress, both physical and mental, resulting from training and competition [42,43].”
From Influence of Sunlight and Oral D3 Supplementation on Serum 25(OH)D Concentration and Exercise Performance in Elite Soccer Players (2020) · cites this paper as [42]
The Discussion reports acute physiological stress after high-volume training, supporting the physical-stress part of the claim. The Introduction says excessive training stress can disturb psychological state, but this study found no change in mood or psychological state and did not examine competition or matches. The supplied passages have section labels but no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSupplementation with high doses of 5000-10,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 is effective in treating athletes with 25(OH)D deficiency.
“It is widely known that supplementation with high doses of 5000–10,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 is effective in treating athletes with 25(OH)D deficiency [9,14,42].”
From Influence of Sunlight and Oral D3 Supplementation on Serum 25(OH)D Concentration and Exercise Performance in Elite Soccer Players (2020) · cites this paper as [42]
The Dietary Intake methods and Nutritional Intake results discuss energy and macronutrients, not vitamin D treatment. Searches for vitamin D3, 25(OH)D deficiency, and the 5000–10,000 IU/day dose found no passage in our copy addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
