Objective of the study was to experimentally prove the effectiveness of the method of using breathing simulators in the training process of qualified biathletes based on improving adaptive capabilities to hypoxia and increasing the functional reserves of the body.
Methods and structure of the study. The basis of the experimental methodology for training biathletes was a set of exercises with the use of breathing simulators aimed at increasing the strength and endurance of the inspiratory muscles of the body and increasing the functional indicators of biathletes. Biathletes Candidates for Master of Sports (men aged 18-23) were divided into two equal groups: experimental and control, 16 biathletes each, 32 in total.
Results of the study and their discussion. The use of breathing simulators in the training of biathletes provides a significant increase in functional fitness indicators. Hypoxic-hypercapnic training with the use of breathing simulators causes athletes to adapt to hypoxia due to changes in the following systems: external respiration; cardiovascular; hematopoietic; nervous; endocrine, ensuring the efficiency of their work, the quality of the oxygen uptake process. There was an increase in the results of competitive activity of qualified biathletes in terms of cross-country skiing and shooting.

Keywords: hypoxic training of biathletes, functional state, breathing exercises, breathing simulators.
