Sport is a very difficult type of human activity that requires the full commitment of the athlete, that is, he must become a way of life. Particular attention in sports is paid to sports results, namely their improvement, cross-country skiing is no exception. Because they are considered one of the most massive and complex species. Recently, at competitions of different levels there is a very great complication of the conditions of the competition tracks, in accordance with this, coaches have to increase the load of athletes in training, in order to achieve significant results in competitions. Because of this, skiers do not have time to recover, and the effectiveness of training is minimized, and the results of athletes do not meet the needs of coaches and skiers themselves. It was the intensive development of skiing that led to this. Currently, this problem is very relevant, and therefore we decided that it is necessary to investigate in more detail this topic, to solve which it was decided to create a program of recreational activities of skiers, this measure is quite appropriate, as the recreational program will not interfere. training process, and vice versa will complement it. To determine the means of recreational orientation, which are of interest to our athletes, a survey was conducted, after the results of which a training program was developed with the introduction of recreational activities.
