In our work we used testing method during the training preparation of Cross-Country skiing athlete, and we obtained back the results, which extended not only our theoretical overview, but also a practical basis of the issue of fitness in Cross-Country skiing elite athletes and national team members. After summing up all collected data from the tests executed after completion of four-weeks long training mesocycles using "controlled" philosophy of training, for each tested discipline we have determined the time value which was expressed in %, or in positive or negative numbers. The same evaluation was executed during data summary for "uncontrolled" training philosophy. Then we compared the obtained data of both, "controlled" and "uncontrolled" training philosophy. By this data comparison, we found out that for studied athlete we can consider a positive response to the training load when using the methodology - philosophy of "controlled" training. Based on our findings, we can recommend to the studied athlete to implement a training process in accordance with the "controlled" philosophy of training for the growth of his performance.
