The paper aims to contribute to our understaning of aggression occurring in sports environment by identifying its manifestation factors among the youth engaged in sports. The research was a part of the VEGA 1/0760/16 project and it was aimed at gathering relevant data regarding the manifestations of aggression within the sports environment. To estimate aggression level, B -D-I test (Buss-Durkee Inventory) was employed, while the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) was used to identify personality types. Due to the complexity of the topic, we decided to investigate and compare data from individual levels of subtests gathered for young individuals doing sports and a "control sample" represented by normal population; we also investigated levels of overall aggression and hostility. All types of aggression were recorded much more frequently among the non-active youth group rather than in sportsmen. However, statistically significant differences at a significance level of 0.05 were detected only in irritability, resentment and overall hostility. As regards personality characteristics, higher level of extrovert behaviour and stability were recorded among the sportsmen rather than non-active group. Similarly, sanguine personality type prevailed among the youth engaged in sports, while choleric type dominated among those who did not do any sports.
