Abstrakt		The aim of the study was to establish the role of sport among adolescents in relation to self-reported suicide attempts. In the sample 4504 secondary students of both sexes in the age range of 14 to 19 years were divided into groups of suicide nonattempters (N = 4046) and attempters (N = 458). We established the health attitude to sport activities, frequency of involvement in sport, and involvement in sport as a coping style in distress. The results showed that among girls suicide attempts are linked to the attitude that sport is not important for health, and to non-involvement in sport as a coping style in distress. The boys suicide attempts were linked to the attitude that sport is not important for health, and to a low frequency of sport activity. Despite the finding of significant association between sport and non-suicidal behavior, it is not possible to conclude that sport has a direct effect on non-suicidal behavior in adolescents.
