Results. The research showed that all tennis players are characterized by low levels of neuroticism, average level of extraversion, average level of openness to experience, low level of agreeableness and high level of conscientiousness. The study showed the lack of connection between the level of neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness and the subjective assessment of the weight of tennis players. Conclusions. Tennis players are a very uniform group in terms of personality, which may indicate the specificity of the discipline, which in a specific way affects the formation of personality. The lack of connection between personality and body weight may result from a small sample of the tested female players.Downloads
