Objective of the study was to develop and offer a potential competitive success forecasting mathematical model applicable to elite rhythmic gymnasts competing in top-ranking events, based on their test rates indicative of the bodily adaptation processes. The study found some differences in the elite rhythmic gymnasts` competitive success rating mathematical model data for different skill levels (Masters of Sports of International Level, Masters of Sports and Candidate Masters of Sports - MSIL, MS and CMS) giving the means to forecast individual competitive performance and qualify gymnasts for top-ranking events. The elite rhythmic gymnasts` potential competitive success rating model prioritizes the following test rates pivotal for the performance forecasts: systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and heart rate variability; correlations of the rate variation speeds with the extreme values in the heart rate variation range; SBP and DBP. The competitive success forecast model is recommended to be based on the test rates indicative of the activity of the system-level nervous heart-rate regulation processes, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and the extreme values in the heart rate variation range.
