The following results were obtained from the correspondence analysis made after obtaining information through a questionnaire answered by 754 superior judo players who have participated in nation level tournaments during their youth and adulthood. 1) Those who held a judo record of pefforming in an event at the national level during their youth or adulthood are mainly those who have played judo continuously since junior high school. 2) A more common pattern of the transition in sports performance is that players generally stay below the prefectural level during their junior high school period and reach the national level during their high school period after which many of them retain that ascertained level.Also, regarding the world level those who have reached that level in their adulthood are the ones who normally gained it during their youth period. 3) In regard to records of sports performance, there is a higher correlation between the adjoining age range, and the degree of that correlation declines as time elases. To summarize such a correlation, the high school period should be separated into two age groups. 4) Regarding the correlation between sports performance records and experience in sports or judo, a significant correlation can be seen only up to high school age, and the sports experience prior to the high school period can be considered separate from the sports performance record achieved during youth and adulthood.
