Objective of the study was to analyze the age-specific correlations of the heart rate variability and neuromotor characteristics test data.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the study the 13-21-year-old cyclists (n=52) trained at the Olympic Reserve Sports School and split them up into Adolescent (n=28) and Junior (n=24) groups. The heart rate variability and neuromotor characteristics test data were analyzed for correlations using the Spearman's rank correlation (r) ratio.
Results and conclusion. The Junior Group was tested with a significant growth of inter- and intra-group correlations versus the Adolescent Group – that may be interpreted as indicative of the growing regulatory and adaptive resource with age at this training process stage.

Keywords: correlation analysis, neuromotor characteristics, heart rate variability, test rates, regulatory and adaptive resource, cycling sport, athletes, teenagers, young men.
