Abstract
The physiological basis for a home advantage has received little attention with investigations predominantly focussing on endocrine responses including fluctuations in innate cortisol and testosterone. However, this endocrine effect has been variably observed with its association with performance and success inconsistent, possibly due to psycho-physiological interactions. The physiological effects of environmental acclimation and travel fatigue may also indirectly contribute to a home advantage that requires further investigation. While the existence of a home advantage has been purported, the current evidence for a physiological basis is tentative with future work needed to clearly confirm the physiological mechanisms.
