By means of a quasi-experimental design the following conclusions were reached: a) There are differences in the results between women and men groups; b) It is remarkable the relevance in both groups of judokas of the Conscientiousness dimension, and of the Energy dimension only in the group of juvenile women; c) Lineal regression analyses show high explained percentages of variance for the group of competitive young Spanish judo players women.
