Kumite (real fight) and Kata (highly ritualized fight) were studied in male Karate athletes. In Kumite the dyads were matched for weight, technical ability and body mass index to achieve symmetrical agonistic confrontations. Individual variations in the plasma levels of hormones (testosterone (T) and cortisol (C)), before and after Kumite and Kata, were measured and analysed in relation with the agonistic outcome (i.e. winning or losing) and personality trait measures. T and C increased only during Kumite contest and pre and post-competition C levels were higher in losers than winners. personality traits revealed that losers showed higher levels of harm avoidance (risk assessment), lower levels of novelty seeking and higher levels of anxiety than winners. significant correlations existed between personality traits and pre-competition C in the kumite contest with the novelty seeking negatively correlate with C and the higher the level of risk assessment, of emotionality and insecurity indexes the higher the C level. Thus personality traits might be an important factor of asymmetry between athletes influencing both the probability of winning or losing an agonistic interaction and the different anticipatory endocrine response to the incipient fight. Thus the “biological” and “psychological” measures can be used to characterize the athlete in terms of attitude and performance and to enhance individual coping strategy in challenging situations. 93
