This study investigated the association between Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (SPM), personality characteristics, mood state profile and perceived impact of pre-menstrual syndrome symptoms on sport performance. Were part of the study 25 athletes from different sport modalities, with ages varying from 18 to 49 years old, connected to the Sport Secretariat from de City of Maringá/PR. The instruments used were: athlete identification sheet, the SPM's diagnostic sheet, perceived SPM's symptoms impact on sport performance sheet, Factorial Personality Inventory (IFP), Profile of Mood States (POMS) and a SPM's symptoms diary, being that the last two were answered during two menstrual cycles. For the data analysis were used the tests: Shapiro-Wilk, Mann- Whitney, Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis and the exact of Fisher, adopting P<0,05. It was verified that the SPM prevalence estimated retrospectively was higher than the one estimated through daily following, being that both were considered high. Significant associations were found between SPM and the weekly training volume, number of symptoms, physical symptoms, breast pain and abdominal discomfort. The athletes with SPM differed from the athletes without SPM by high need of performance, low need of assistance and intraception, and high need of change, as the athletes without SPMdiffered by very high need of assistance and high need of dominance, denegation and persistence. There were significant association between denegation (low need) and SPM. The athletes with SPM presented Menstrual Cycle's (CM) last day values higher than those from the athletes without SPM for the fatigue, anger and confusion dimensions. The athletes without SPM presented a decrease on confusion dimension from the 7º day to the last week of the CM and the athletes with SPM had a decrease on vigor dimension from the last week to the last day of the CM. The athletes without SPM did not present the iceberg profile in none of the days due to the low level of vigor dimension and the athletes with SPM did not present iceberg profile mainly on the premenstrual and menstrual, due to high scores on fatigue and anger dimensions and low scores on vigor dimension. Most part of the athletes (80%) informed an impact of SPM symptoms on sport performance, being that most of them felt more affected in training than in competition. Significant association was found between perceived impact of syndrome`s symptoms on sport performance during training and SPM estimated retrospectively and perceived impact of syndrome's symptoms on sport performance during competitions with SPM estimated by dairies, week training volume, isolation, breast pain. The athletes who perceived impact of pre-menstrual syndrome symptoms on sport performance showed higher need of heterosexuality and performance. So it is concluded that SPM awake primary needs (pain, sickness) in athletes that, when exposed to pressure environments (competitions), have conflicts with secondary needs (such as performance), allowing these athletes to present higher tension states and perceive the pre-menstrual symptoms impact on sport performance as negative.
