Abstract
The current state of the problem of adaptation in sport, its theoretical and practical aspects, and also prospects of its development are considered. Specific features of the mechanisms and regularities of adaptation to exercise were studied in athletes over 15 years. Four stages of adaptive rearrangements are proposed: physiological tension of the organism, adaptation, dysadaptation, and readaptation. Each stage is characterized by specific functional changes and regulatory and energy provision. The concept of a special functional system of adaptation in athletes is based theoretically and confirmed experimentally. Knowledge of the regularities of the development of this system allows us to efficiently and variously influence its links to accelerate adaptation to exercise and to increase training, i.e., to control the adaptation process.
