Abstract: Results of the investigation of Paralympians (skiers, biathletes, athletes with lesions of the musculoskeletal system) adaptation to high altitudes during the pre-competition and competition periods, as well as a search for specific psychophysiological qualities contributing to successful adaptation to high-altitude training and competition burdens is presented in this paper. The athletes included 2 women and 12 men; 6 athletes of top level, age 32.5+/-8, (LW5/7, LW6, LW8, LW10, LW12 in accordance with International Paralympic Committee classification), 5 athletes of middle level, age 24+/-5 (LW2, LW12) and 3 preparatory level, 17 years old (LW8). It was demonstrated that knowledge of the properties of the nervous system of an athlete enables the prediction of his adaptability to training and competitive activities at high altitudes. The GDV “Bio-Well” device used in the study yields a sufficiently accurate estimation of the parameters of the psychophysiological state of athletes. The “Prognoz” method for assessing the properties of the nervous system enables prompt monitoring of the process of adaptation to the high athletes during the pre-competition and competition periods and timely implementation of the necessary corrective measures. Monitoring of athletes’ activity for a long time allowed creating the optimal training process and preparing athletes for completions in the peak of their adaptation, physical and psychological readiness. The best indication was successful performance of this team at Paralympic Winter Games Sochi-2014. Athletes on Russia Paralympic Team achieved commendable results in biathlon: Gold – 7, Silver – 5, Bronze – 3, as well as in skiing: Gold – 10, Silver – 3, Bronze – 6. These are remarkable results, which was achieved by combining efforts of coachers, psychologists and scientists.
