Empirical results of the research of vitality and hardiness of respondents are presented. Significant correlations of the studied parameters have been established (p<.05; p <.01). Differences were set down in the parameter “Control” (p<.05) in the group of parachutists compared to the control. The high results of “Control” (M=22.12; SD=5.64) of representatives of parachuting have been substantiated with excessive danger and extremeness of this kind of sport. It is stated that total control can deplete parachutists, i. e. be a factor of reducing vitality. Emphasis was placed on the indicators of respondents who practice yoga, who had higher average values of Dispositional Vitality (M=35.64; SD=9.91) and Hardiness (M=57.81; SD=12.42) with lower average values of Control (M=19.12; SD=4.14). Conclusions. High level of subjective vitality as a state and dispositional vitality as a personal quality of parachutists and yoga was stated.
