Stress-effects on salivary cortisol concentrations
Two participants were excluded from data analysis, because of undetectable cortisol concentrations, resulting in a sample size of 23 participants in both the Stress and No-Stress groups. The trajectory of salivary cortisol concentrations across the measures 1–7 on experimental Day 1, measures 8–9 on experimental Day 2, and measures 10–11 on Day 3 is illustrated in Fig. Monitoring of salivary cortisol concentrations of the Stress and No-Stress groups. Each data point represents mean and SEM salivary cortisol concentrations that have been measured during 7 sampling points on experimental day 1, two sampling points on day 2 and another two sampling points on experimental day 3 (see Table
