Introduction. This paper presents a new look at the problem of studying the age-related characteristics of the manifestation of varying degrees of courage and resistance to stress in a dangerous situation. The novelty of the research lies in the study of courage and stress resistance as the most important qualities necessary for both the formation of an athlete and for successful coaching.Purpose. The study of age-related characteristics of the manifestation of varying degrees of courage and resistance to stress in a dangerous situation created during the experiment, as close as possible to the real situation.Materials and Methods. At each age, the number of subjects assigned to one group or another was calculated according to the degree of ʻcourageʼ. Comparison of changes in the numerical composition of these groups due to age was carried out separately for male and female individuals. Each factor in the typological complex was evaluated by a relative coefficient in the system. Interspecific relationships were calculated, where the significance level of each factor that contributed to the manifestation of a high or low degree of courage was established. To identify the total relationship between positive and negative complexes with the manifestation of a high and low degree of courage, the complexes were averaged.Results. It was established that the more individuals with a weak nervous system in one age range, the more individuals with a low degree of courage in the same range.Discussion and Conclusion. When comparing the age-related characteristics of the manifestation of courage with the age-related characteristics of the manifestation of the basic properties of the nervous system, it was found that the latter change in such a way that in one age period they contribute to the manifestation of courage, in another period of life, in contrast, they prevent the manifestation of courage. Comparing the change with the age of the number of persons with inhibition mobility with a high degree of courage shows that in many age groups, they change in different directions, but it indicates that the change in typological features corresponds to the nature of the change in the degree of courage.
