Aim. The authors aim to identify the hierarchy of the mechanisms of heart rhythm regulation in solving competitive problems among highly skilled volleyball players, depending on their positions. Materials and methods. A rapid analysis of the state of regulation centers at individual structural and func-tional levels was performed on highly skilled volleyball players of different positions (Super League and Major League A, Russian Championship): outside hitters (n = 8), liberos (n = 4), blockers (n = 8), opposites (n = 4), and setters (n = 4). Heart rhythm recording was performed with the Omega-Sport software and hardware complex (Dinamika, St. Petersburg, Russia). Results. Depending on the volleyball position, a dif-ferent participation of the centers responsible for heart rhythm regulation was recorded in highly skilled vol-leyball players. Conclusion. Control over regulatory processes allows for maintaining the high performance of volleyball players throughout the entire competitive period.
