A total of 624 college students voluntarily participated in this study and they answered to questionnaires. The results were as follows: 1) There were two notions in regard to the "Muscle Hardness", elasticity in touching and extent of range of motion. A number of athletes who were high performance level, answered the former. Conversely, the proportion of the latter was high in low level athletes or non-athletes. 2) In the answer of self-evaluation of Muscle Hardness, "rather soft" and "rather hard" were high ratio. Then in athlete group, the degree of self-evaluation of Muscle Hardness differed among the different performance level. 3) The percentage of the answer that having a custom of sports massage or utilizing Muscle Hardness as criterion of self-condition, was high in the higher performance level athletes.
