Objective of the study was to rate and analyze the physical fitness variance versus the competitive success data in the national biathlon elite.
Methods and structure of the study. We used in the study the test data flow produced by the regular staged combined tests of the 27+1.4 year-old healthy uninjured elite biathletes (n=6) qualified for the Russian national team, active in trainings and competitions and subject to the staged combined tests at least six times for the study period. We rated their competitive performance in 18 sprint events at the 2018-19/ 2019-20 World Cups and World Championships using the data available at https://biathlonresults.com/ and using the competitive performance rating method described earlier. The staged combined tests were designed to process the strength, alactate/ aerobic muscle power and cardio-respiratory system functions test data generated by the ski ergometer and treadmill tests with modern standard equipment.
Results and conclusion. The study data and analyses found the biathletes with better average competitive success rates for the period being more stable in the seasonal competitive performance.

Keywords: biathlon, competitive performance, adaptation, physical fitness.
