The study of liability in sport takes place through the prism of legal liability, which is understood as a legal relationship between an entity that has violated the law, on the one hand, and the state, represented by its bodies or other organizations authorized to determine liability for the offender, on the other. Liability can be defined as a mechanism for redistributing costs based on the idea of ​​fair reimbursement; the costs of the person whose rights have been violated are transferred to the person through whose fault the violation occurred. The aim of the study was to examine the issues of regulation of liability for health injuries in sports. The methodology of the chosen problem was a systematic approach, including dialectical, formal-logical and structural-functional methods and other general scientific research methods, as well as special legal methods: comparative law and formal law. According to the Criminal Code of Ukraine, a crime is a socially dangerous criminal act (action or omission) committed by the subject of the crime. In case of harm to human health during sports, the perpetrators should be prosecuted in cases where one of the participants in the competition intentionally grossly violates the established rules of sports competitions.
