Objective of the study was to identify the influence of bioenergetic components of physical performance on the functional state of young athletes under cognitive loads of varying intensity.
Methods and structure of the study. The study involved young athletes aged 13-14 involved in cycling and running medium and long distances (n=97). The cognitive load model was a 2-minute work with letter tables in the following modes: 1) «auto pace»; 2) «maximum pace».
Results and conclusions. It is shown that high aerobic, anaerobic glycolytic and anaerobic alactate capabilities are associated with favorable changes in FS under intense cognitive load. The results of the study give reason to believe that the complex use of physical activity of aerobic and anaerobic nature in the process of sports improvement creates prerequisites for increasing stress resistance, optimizing the FS of the body of young athletes not only during muscular, but also intense cognitive activity.

Keywords: aerobic and anaerobic capacity, functional state, cognitive performance, cross-adaptation, adolescent athletes.
