Resistance training is a cornerstone of physical conditioning for professional athletes, designed to enhance strength, muscular endurance, and overall performance .High-intensity resistance exercises trigger significant physiological responses, including activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and subsequent release of cortisol, a key stress hormone. This study investigates the moderating role of emotional self-regulation in cortisol responses to resistance training in professional athletes. Emotional self-regulation, a critical psychological skill, influences stress responses during high-intensity physical activities. Fifty professional male athletes (mean age: 25.8 ± 3.5 years) participated in a controlled resistance training protocol. Cortisol levels were measured pre- and post-exercise via saliva samples, and emotional self-regulation was assessed using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (E R Q). Results indicated that athletes with higher emotional self-regulation exhibited significantly lower cortisol elevations post-training (p < 0.01). Notably, cognitive reappraisal demonstrated a stronger moderating effect than expressive suppression (β = -0.45, p < 0.01). These findings highlight the importance of integrating psychological interventions into training programs to enhance athlete recovery and performance.
