Study of heart rate variability as a method for monitoring the training process in highly skilled female curlers

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of training process adjustments based on the analysis of heart rate variability dynamics. Research methods and organization. The method of heart rate variability (HRV) assessment and statistical data analysis was applied. The study was conducted with a group of female athletes of the national curling team aged 18 to 25 years. Research results and conclusions. The results obtained demonstrate the importance of HRV monitoring as a tool for the timely detection of signs of overtraining and the optimization of training loads in the course of athletic preparation. The significance of using HRV indicators for the objective assessment of athletes' functional state and the planning of individualized training programs has been confirmed.
