Objective: 

The functional states of athletes reflect the integral complex of functional system elements which are responsible for the effectiveness of activity. Many works deal with the psychological diagnostics, influence of physical performance on cognitive functions in athletes. But the modern methods diagnostics are ignored the integral criteria of psychophysiological states which are used for athletes.

Methods: 

A total of 27 athletes (men) were examined. An automated method of testing of a number of cognitive functions was studied.

Results: 

The results of the investigation showed that 8 subjects had a high estimated, 14 have the intermediate and 5 have a low level of psychophysiological states. This explains the fact that, during sporting activities in athletes with higher level of psychophysiological states deteriorate earlier than in low level. The elaboration method of psychophysiological diagnostics gives possibilities to control for functional states of higher qualification athletes with individual-typological peculiarities. According to our studies the adaptation to activity performed resulted in athletes with increasing of psychophysiological states level are characterised of reduction meanings of the variability of the psychophysiological parameters. Thus, the specific features of psychophysiological states in athletes are manifested with optimized the adaptive compensatory brain mechanisms of decline of visual perception and information processing capability in athletes.

Conclusions: 

The analysis of the studied athletes show that the biggest level of psychophysiological state in higher qualification sportsmen is related with increasing of tension and compensation of psychophysiological organization of information processing.
