Abstract :

Adaptation to mountain conditions is a complex and multifaceted process that involves different functional system. One of the most important components of adaptation to mountain conditions is the regulation of physiological functions. Thus, the study of gender-specific adaptation of autonomic regulation of heart rate to mountain conditions is a key issue. 34 elite athletes (17 women and 17 men, aged 20-26), members of the National team of Ukraine Judo was examined. Studies were conducted on training camp in mountainous base ?Zaroslyak? in Carpathians. The autonomic regulation of heart rate was studied by cardiac monitor «Polar-RS800CX». The parameters: duration, frequency and fluctuations of cardio interval were studied. The results suggest gender differences in the dynamics of the state of the autonomic nervous system in elite judokas. In men in response to training load in the mountains changing the ratio sympathetic and parasympathetic tone by activation of the pituitary-adrenal and sympathoadrenal system. In women, the ratio of sympathetic and parasympathetic tone remains unchanged. Critical to the process of adaptation to highlands in elite athletes, according to heart rate variability, is the fourth and eighth day stay in the mountains
