Background. Currently, the opportunity to stabilize a high percentage of Alpha rhythms in the brain is actively discussed in the psychophysiology of sport. A higher percentage of Alpha rhythms in the brain significantly improves the overall stress resistance among athletes and, consequently, leads to increased athletic performance.
Materials and methods. In our work, we use the screening diagnostics of «Omega» by «Dynamics» company. This system allows to detect, apart from many other features, the rhythms of the brain before and after various psycho-physiological and sport training sessions and to develop the rhythm of breathing exercises to harmonize the functional body systems of an individual.
Results. In most athletes, overall work capacity reliably increases after their undergoing the «Omega» respiratory program. This is due to the decline in the share of Delta rhythms of the brain, in the nervous system stress index and in the Autonomic balance index. In athletes of different specialization, the percentage of either the alpha or the beta rhythms of the brain increases.
Conclusions. Thus, our monitoring has given clear grounds for using the individual «Omega» respiratory program in the training process of athletes and showed the ease of the usage of this program compared to other more complicated ones (e.g. the method of Prof. V. Tristan).
