Objective of the study was to assess the change in the psycho-emotional state (well-being, activity, mood) of young people participating in cross-country skiing competitions, as well as to identify the parameters of physical activity and physical condition of ski race participants with different emotional responses to participation in a mass sports event.
Methods and structure of the study. The study involved young people aged 18-20 years (n=20) who participated in mass cross-country skiing competitions. The assessment of the psycho-emotional state was carried out using the questionnaire “Health. Activity. Mood"; individual load parameters during cross-country skiing and the response of the cardiovascular system were studied using the Garmin Forerunner; physical condition - using the hardware-software complex "Omega-Sport".
Results and conclusions. In the course of the study, two groups of ski race participants were identified - with a positive and negative emotional response to participation in the competition. Competitors who emotionally reacted negatively to the performance of the competitive load, there is a significant decrease in the "Well-being" indicator. Participants of the ski race, whose mood improved at the end of it, had optimal functioning of the body at rest, as well as significantly (p <0.05) high indicators of physical condition: fitness, energy supply, "sports form". The study made it possible to identify one of the reasons for the insufficient activity of young people in mass sports events: the experience of participating in a state of intense functioning of the body leads to the appearance of negative emotions, which in the future can become a barrier to reproducing competitive experience, which requires the search for competitive practices that satisfy the capabilities of the competitors and contributing to positive emotions.

Keywords: emotional response, competition, youth, well-being, activity, mood, autonomic regulation.
