The aim is to develop a system for the recovery of sportsmen by individual use of medicinal plants.Materials: The study involved 43 athletes -representatives of team sports.To determine the individual compounds of medicinal herbs have been identified characteristics of each athlete based on the indicators of vegetative balance and concentration of insulin and cortisol in the blood.Cluster analysis was used to separate the athletes into groups in terms of vegetative balance and concentration of insulin and cortisol in the blood.It was obtained 6 groups (3 controls and 3 experimental) by pairwise selection of individual features of the functioning of the adaptive systems.The experimental group trained with the use of individual means of recovery, in the control group given method has not been applied.The study lasted 4 months.Medicinal herbswere applied by four cycles of 21 days with intervals of 7 days.Results: have been developed the principles of the individualization of the use of medicinal plants to optimize the operation of adaptive systems.Medicinal plants used in considering the individual characteristics of the athletes and contributed to the normalization of the studied parameters.Conclusions: shows the efficiency of the developed principles of individualization of the use of medicinal plants for the recovery of sportsmen.
