This study examines the influence of wearing and perceiving colors in a cycling setting while also examining cortisol, heart rate, estimated maximum oxygen consumption, and subjective performance ratings. A total of 99 individuals completed the study, consisting of cortisol measurements, which compared baseline values to those after changing into a red or blue outfit, and a maximum cycling task performed wearing the same outfit while competing against a video opponent in red or blue. Each participant completed the protocol twice on separate days. Wearing a colored outfit showed no influence on cortisol levels. Regarding the cycling task, the participants wearing red had higher maximum heart rate values than when wearing blue. In addition, the results revealed increased maximum heart rate and maximum oxygen consumption values when perceiving an opponent in blue, especially when the participant also wore blue. No differences were found for the median heart rate or performance ratings.

这项研究检查了骑行环境中穿着和感知颜色的影响，同时还检查了皮质醇、心率、估计的最大耗氧量和主观性能评级。共有 99 人完成了这项研究，包括皮质醇测量值，将基线值与换上红色或蓝色衣服后的基线值进行比较，以及在与红色或蓝色视频对手竞争时穿着相同衣服执行的最大骑行任务。每个参与者在不同的日子里完成了两次协议。穿着彩色衣服对皮质醇水平没有影响。关于骑自行车任务，穿红色的参与者的最大心率值高于穿蓝色的参与者。此外，结果显示，当看到对手穿着蓝色衣服时，最大心率和最大耗氧量会增加，尤其是当参与者也穿着蓝色衣服时。没有发现中位心率或性能等级的差异。
