Objective of the study is to identify the dynamics of the subjective assessment of the psychofunctional state of female athletes of various specializations throughout the menstrual cycle.
Methods and structure of the study. To record changes in the psychofunctional state of the examined female athletes, a questionnaire test of the SAM (well-being, activity, mood) was used.
To determine the psychofunctional state of the examined female athletes in different phases of the menstrual cycle, a questionnaire test of differential self-assessment of the functional state of the SAM (well-being, activity, mood) was used, which allows for an express assessment of a person's condition during mental and physical stress [2]. An assessment of situational (reactive) anxiety [5] was also carried out as a state characterized by subjectively experienced emotions: tension, anxiety, concern, nervousness, etc. Athletes aged 15-17 specializing in sprinting and ice hockey took part in the experiment.
Results and conclusions. The features of the dynamics of subjective assessment of the psychofunctional state during the ovarian-menstrual cycle (OMC) in female athletes are presented. It is shown that the psychofunctional state of female athletes changes in accordance with the phases of the individual specific biological cycle and taking this provision into account when constructing the training process can increase its effectiveness without excessively increasing the volume and intensity of the applied training effects.

Keywords: female athletes, ovarian-menstrual cycle, psychofunctional state, training process, phases.
