Aim. This paper aims mainly at revealing the level of development of the functional capacity indices of elite female gymnasts during an Olympic cycle of training. Methods. This scientific approach included an experimental study based on the research topic "Control and Planning of the Training Process of Elite Female Gymnasts in an Olympic Cycle". The following methods have been used: bibliographic study of the theoretical, conceptual, methodological and practical issues analyzed in the specialized literature; pedagogical observation; method of specific tests; pedagogical experiment, statisticalmathematical and data graphical representation method. The experimental study was conducted over the period 2013-2016, with two research groups (experimental, n=10 and control, n=10). The functional capacities of the gymnasts during an Olympic cycle were assessed by testing the following physiological parameters: heart rate (BPM), blood pressure, mm.Hg.; exercise capacity index (ECI), ªtanghe test (sec.), Ghencea test (sec.), Functional condition of the cardiovascular system (Robinson). Results. The data obtained demonstrate the improvement of the cardio-vascular system functional possibilities in the dynamics of an Olympic cycle. The training efforts have a significant influence on the functional condition of the body starting from the third macro-cycle of the Olympic cycle and the last macro-cycle (at the significance threshold of statistical values of P.0.01 and P.0.001 with probability 99 and 99.9%). Conclusions. The adaptation of elite female gymnasts` body functions under the influence of different intensity efforts was determined by the degree of complexity of the competitive program routines. The increase of training efforts intensity entailed the increase of body functional capacity of the gymnasts. Thus the dimensions of the functional possibilities in each Olympic macro-cycle are varied by sports training activity and always surpassed.
