The research purpose is to study the dynamics of recovery of heart rate (HR) in curlers after sweeping with maximum effort of various duration. 

Materials and methods. In 12 men and 14 women aged 22,2±2,0 years, HR was recorded with a «Polar S410» heart rate monitor after swiping with maximum effort in the standing position for three approaches lasting 5 seconds, 15 seconds and 25 seconds at 5 intervals (0 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds and 120 seconds) after every sweep.

Results and their discussion. It was shown that the maximum HR after sweeping between men and women did not significantly differ (p>0,05) in all three approaches. Women recovered significantly faster than men after 15- and 25-second approaches (p<0,05). In all athletes, the heart rate during recovery after 120 seconds in 15-second and 25-second approaches remains elevated compared to the values observed after the 5-second approach.

Conclusion. The modern curler training system provides for a large amount of physical activity in specific temperature conditions, which significantly affect the activity of systems that provide adaptive reactions. Curlers need to pay special attention to aerobic training.
