Purpose: to determine the relationship between competitive activity and the level of sensorimotor reactions in highly skilled taekwondo practitioners. Materials and methods. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological information and Internet sources; video-computer analysis of the competitive activity of highly skilled taekwondo practitioners; psychophysiological measurement method; methods of mathematical statistics using the computer programs Statistika 12,5 and Numbers. Ten highly skilled taekwondo athletes who are members of the Ukrainian national team (age: 20.7±3.77; qualification: Master of sports of Ukraine-honored master of sports of Ukraine) and who participated in the 2024 European Championships were selected for the study. Results: competitive activity indicators were found to be variable; medalists performed on average 4.58 more technical and tactical actions with 19,57 % greater efficiency than those who lost; medalists prevailed in points scored during the fight over those who lost by an average of 4,58 points; medalists performed an average of 1.87 more effective actions in shorter intervals by an average of 13,65 ms; no statistically significant relationship was found between the total reaction time to a moving object and a number of competitive performance indicators (p>0,05); at the same time, a strong positive correlation was found between the average reaction time in the first stage of the RMO test and the effectiveness of the third part of the match (r=0,89, p<0,05); a moderate inverse correlation was also found between the reaction time of choice and the number of effective actions (r=−0,31). The main limitation of the study is the small sample size. Conclusions. Sensory-motor ability indicators, combined with technical and tactical characteristics, can be useful for predicting competition results and optimizing athlete training. The results confirm the feasibility of using the proposed psychophysiological tests as additional selection and monitoring criteria
