The modified version of the competitive state anxiety Inventory-2 (Martens et al.) (CSAI-2) was utilized.

The first measurement was conducted 3 weeks before the competition whereas the second, was conducted 1 hour before the first match. Results were (1) There was an increase in the intensity of cognitive and somatic anxiety of karate players 1 hour before the competition, and a decrease of cognitive, somatic anxiety  directions 1 hour before competition; (2) There was an increase in the breath rate, pulse rate and the Norepinephrine  hormone secretion in blood 1 hour before competition, with the amount released twice as high as in the normal condition 3 weeks before competition; (3) There was no relationship between the dimensions of the competitive state anxiety and the physiological variables and the rate of the Norepinephrine  hormone secretion in blood .
