We used Kalina’s the susceptibility test of the body injuries during the fall (STBIDF).[b]Results.[/b] Within the range of all agility attempts competitors technically more advanced obtained results saliently better (p<0.000), both with relation to the intermediate and the beginners. Together with the level of the initiation also the number of committed errors in TPUCPU grew smaller. One showed the existence of the strong relationship (p<0.05) between the level of the special fitness and the susceptibility to bodily injuries during falls.[b]Conclusions. [/b]Together with the increase of the special fitness the number of committed errors during the fall grows smaller. Consequently the ability of self-assurance of those exercising increases too.
