Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the idea of interconnectedness between aggression and sensation seeking. The level of sensation seeking and aggression of 152 sportsmen is assessed and the established correlations are discussed. On the basis of the obtained results we stress on the importance of sport as a factor, influencing the level and the way of expression of aggressive tendencies. We summarize the possibilities for future research and dwell on the possibility to use sport as a preventive means for coping with the aggression in modern society.
