Research on changes in psychological, physical fatigue and emotional states in the National Youth Orienteering Preparation Camp.

ABSTRACT: Orienteering demands integrated cognitive-physical performance, making it ideal for evaluating psychophysiological resilience. This study aimed to examine whether an orienteering-based intervention enhances autonomic regulation, endocrine adaptation, and emotional competence in adolescents. Seventy-two participants (36 in the intervention group, 36 in the control group) completed a 4-week orienteering program, with assessments at T1, T2, and T3. Core outcomes included RMSSD, SDNN, salivary cortisol, PSS-10, PANAS-C, and EISA-24. Emotional profile classifications and moderation analyses were performed. Statistical tests included repeated-measures ANOVA, t-tests, and stratified subgroup comparisons, executed using R software (R Computing, Austria). RMSSD improved from 44.7 ± 13.1 ms to 54.6
