Objective of the study was to assess the health status of women involved in cyclic sports.
Methods and structure of the study. The health status of women aged 18-28, with 3-5 years of experience in the national team of the Republic of Bashkortostan, was studied. The comparison group, consisting of 49 women of the same age (18-28 years), was formed from amateur athletes who do not have high sports titles, students and graduates of the coaching and teaching faculty of the State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education «Bashkir Institute of Physical Culture», professionally working in the field of physical culture.
Results and conclusions. In terms of the overall prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases in 33 elite female athletes and 49 women in the control group, no statistically significant differences were found; 87,8 cases of morbidity were detected per 100 examined among female athletes in cyclic sports, and 55,1 cases per 100 examined in the control group. Increased training loads in women in cyclic sports with 3-5 years of experience in elite sports can cause functional disorders of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. At the same time, moderate physical activity can improve not only a persons physical abilities, but also their intellectual abilities. Sports, regardless of its focus, cultivate such personality traits in female athletes as confidence, discipline, responsibility, perseverance, which enrich their life experience. Women with high physical and mental capabilities can engage in sports, with mandatory monitoring of the physical condition of the body.

Keywords: professional sports, womens sports, increased training loads, gender role stereotype.
