Since 2002, when the event of skiing sprint has been included into the programme of Winter Olympic Games, Lithuanian ski sprinters used to participate in it. For the first time they competed in team sprint in 2010 Olympic Games. For the events of individual and team competitions, Lithuanian athletes were preparing according to special requirements, following the objectives of the programme "Vancouver 2010". Ski sprinters` training technology differs considerably from that of long-distance skiers; however, this fact must be supported by scientific research. The aim of the research was regarding the increased significance of sprint events, to analyze the structure of Lithuanian Olympic team ski sprinters` winter preparatory Olympic yearly cycle, as well as the change of performed physical loads and the athletes` organism adaptation to them. The research in the activity of two Lithuanian ski sprinters was carried out and their experienced physical loads during yearly training cycle were analyzed. The efficiency of separate mesocycles was measured conducting laboratory works. The indices of physical development, muscle capacity in various energy production zones, also aerobic capacity were estimated. lt was established that the program objectives of Lithuanian ski sprinters preparation for the Olympic Games were achieved. Skiers sprinters training lasted for 876 hours a year. 69.8 per cent of it were devoted to development of aerobic capacity and 30.2 per cent for the aerobic capacity. The estimated indices in athletes` anaerobic alactic and anaerobic glycolytic capacity during the yearly preparatory cycle were high. Their aerobic capacity satisfied the level required for ski sprinters.
