The article gives an analysis of the age-specific profiles of retired high-ranking athletes’ heart rate variability and psychoemotional status in correlation with the vegetative regulation process in post-retirement adaptation period. Subject to the study were 124 high-ranking retired athletes of the both genders with retirement records under 5 years. Group 1 was composed of 65 former athletes of 18-21 years of age, and Group 2 included 59 former athletes aged 22-25 years. The heart rate variability was rated using the R.M. Bayevskiy Test (2001) with short 5-minute ECG records being obtained. The subjects’ psycho-emotional status and stress exposure rates were obtained using the Neurotization and Psychopathization Scale and Rider’s Stress Test.
The study data and analyses made it possible to find the statistically meaningful changes in vegetative regulation connected with the psychological status variation in the former athletes; and this finding urges due medical and psychological service being provided to retired athletes as soon as they retire.

Keywords: heart rate variability, ex-athletes, psychoemotional status.
