Objective of the study was to experimentally substantiate the method of control of the physical and functional state of highly-qualified basketball players amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods and structure of the study. Subject to the experiment were 11 basketball players of the BC Rostov-Don-UFU. The female athletes’ functional state was tested from September 2020 through January 2021 using Polar H10 heart-rate monitor, Polar VantageV watch, and Polar Flow program. The data obtained were processed and analyzed by the coaches to find the right training-rest balance, organize a painless and effective recovery from COVID-19.
Results and conclusions. Daily monitoring of the subjects’ functional state using Polar H10 heart-rate monitor, Polar Vantage V watch, and Polar Flow program made it possible to constantly adjust the training loads based on the condition of the female basketball players, which affected the team’s performance. Despite the fact that during the COVD-19 pandemic, several of the regular players came down with the disease, the BC Rostov-Don-UFU continues to hold the leading position in the Russian Superleague-1 Championship and performs in the 2020-2021 season without losing.
The application of modern digital equipment, multifunctional complexes allowing remote access to telemedical health care service, snap analysis.

Keywords: COVD-19 pandemic, functional state, basketball, digital equipment in sports, rehabilitation after COVD-19.
