To investigate whether a behavior pattern of athlete influences the changes of condition with training loads, or not, the changes of mood state (POMS) in kendo players were observed during kangeiko, which is a very hard training in the coldest season. Using a “KG Activity Survey” questionaire, we divided 10 male college kendo players into 5 subjects with a higher Type-A score and 5 subjects with a lower Type-A score. These players were also divided into two groups, by using the three major subfactors of Type A, i. e. aggression-hostility (AH), speed-power (SP) , and hard-driving-time urgency (HT), respectively. The players with a higher Type-A score showed more prominent increases with kangeiko in “fatigue” , “tension”, “confusion”, and “Total mood disturbance”, compared with the players with a lower Type-A score, although there were no statistical significances. The players with a higher AH score showed significantly lower “fatigue”, “tension”, “confusion”, and “Total mood disturbance” in the control day (11 days after kangeiko) than the players with a lower AH score. The increases of these POMS scores during kangeiko, however, were significantly larger in the players with a higher AH score, and consequently, there were no significant differences in POMS scores between the two groups. On the other hand, the responces of POMS with kangeiko were significantly suppressed in the players with a higher SP score, compared with the players with a lower SP score. It is considerd that we can exactly evaluate the condition of athletes much more by considering the behavior pattern of each athlete.
