Objective of the study was to identify the specific features of the age dynamics of competitive activity in track and field all-around events in terms of sexual dimorphism.
Methods and structure of the study. The competitive activity of the strongest all-around athletes of the world, women and men, was analyzed throughout the entire sports career of each of the athletes. 221 results in the heptathlon disciplines for women (n=25) and 276 results for men (n=30) in the decathlon were subjected to statistical processing, shown by them throughout their sports career at the age of 18 to 33 years.
Results and conclusions. Women three years earlier than men reach the zone of realization of individual abilities, maintaining a high level of sports performance up to 27 years, and in men at the age of 30, 57% of the respondents are included in the top list of 50 strongest decathletes in the world.
At the beginning of a sports career for men, the highest total points are scored by those athletes whose physical fitness prevails over technical. For women at this stage, the priority is training in disciplines that make the maximum contribution to the total score. At all stages of sportsmanship in women, the greatest contribution to the final result is made by achievements in high jumps, and in men - in long jumps. Common to the two types of all-around is the significant contribution of the result in hurdling to the total points and the indicators achieved in throwing are less significant.

Keywords: all-around, competitive activity, decathlon, heptathlon, points, result, sexual dimorphism.
