This study aimed to reveal empirical data of the response of cortisol hormone to students’ anxiety and focus. In the experimental method, we used three groups of students consisting of a group with individual sport, a group with group sport, and a group with no sport at all. During testing, each student had to do Elisa Kit protocol with the aid of a laboratory called Prodia. We also measure the data using F-ANOVA and regression analysis tests. The results showed that different levels of anxiety were obtained and had a correlation with the response of cortisol hormone. When the group with no sport activity was tested, they had high cortisol hormone. As a consequence, they tend to be easily anxious. When the group with the individual sport was tested, they had low cortisol hormone, indicating that they did not get anxious too easily. When the group with group sport was tested, they had low cortisol hormone. However, different from group number two, this group showed less anxiety. The results also showed the effect of cortisol on the focused of the student. In addition, the type of sport also impacts the level of students’ anxiety. This is due to the fact that group sport helps train students’ teamwork and self-confidence. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
