Abstract
Objective of the study was to analyze benefits of a psycho-physiological test toolkit for primary selections of the sports gifted children.
Methods and structure of the study. We made an expert analysis of the psycho-physiological test component of the primary selection service for the Federal Experimental Innovative “Become a Champion” Project using NS-Psychotest system (made by LLC Neurosoft, Ivanovo, Russia). We sampled for the tests the 5-12-year-olds (n= 180, 94 boys and 87 girls). Significance of the test data group differences was rated by the Fisher φ angular transformation criterion.
Results and conclusion. The psycho-physiological test tools for the primary selection of sports gifted children were found beneficial as they give a sound basis for consulting the children’s families and making individual recommendations on how they should mobilize their children’s sport talents for progress.

Keywords: children’s sports gift rating tests, psycho-physiological tests, integration, recommendations.
