The present article is devoted to the methodology of studying the preparedness of sailors. The success of a yachtsman is determined by numerous factors, including somatic parameters, as well as the level of physical, technical, tactical and psychological preparedness. The assessment of each aspect of preparedness requires highly specific tests and measurements, and the wide variety of yacht classes complicates the development of a unified approach. The interaction of the body with the sailing system is different in va rious classes, which affects the testing methodology. The aim of the study is to systematise the information available in the scientific literature on tests and measurements used to assess the components of yachtsmen’s preparedness. A review of more than 50 scientific sources on the research topic was conducted, 20 of which are cited in this article. The literature review identifies and describes 83 tests and measurements
used by Russian and foreign researchers with varying degrees of detail. In order to systematize all the tests, they have been grouped according to the areas of preparedness. The article lists laboratory measurements, while the pedagogical tests available to the coaches, which do not require complex equipment, are described in more detail. Special
attention is paid to the control of technical and tactical parameters using modern computer technologies. The described tests and measurements can be used to create models of the preparedness of successful yachtsmen in various yacht classes, and a generally accepted measurement methodology will facilitate comparison and verification researches in sailing.
