Introduction. The study of the effectiveness of game-time planning for women’s teams in sports games addresses the need to consider athletes’ psychophysiological characteristics to enhance performance. Previous research identified links between technical skills, psycho-emotional state, and success, forming the basis for this study’s goal: to evaluate the effectiveness of game-time planning using innovative approaches tailored to athletes’ psychophysiological traits for team optimization. Methods. The research involved 18 athletes from the “Frankivsk-Prykarpattya” team.It employed psychosocial questionnaires, pedagogical observations, experiments with innovative technologies, biomedical methods, and statistical analysis. Results. Within the framework of a pedagogical experiment involving Superleague female basketball players, a methodology for planning game time was developed, considering the psychophysiological characteristics and emotional state of the athletes, alongside the utilization of innovative technologies. The results of the comparative analysis demonstrated that the effectiveness of rebounds under the opponent’s basket increased by 1.1 %, under their basket by 14 % (reaching 82.1 %), and the overall rebound indicator rose by 3.2 %. The percentage of ball losses decreased by 3.1 %, while the ratio of steel to losses improved from 0.5 to 0.6. The indicators “Points in paint” and “Second chance points” increased by 2 points.Correlation analysis revealed a high correlation between technical preparedness and rebound effectiveness (r = 0.72), a negative relationship between psychoemotional state and ball losses (r = -0.68), and a positive influence of technologies on steels (r = 0.65). This methodology substantiated the effectiveness of an individualized approach and the application of modern technologies in optimizing the training of female athletes. Conclusions. The developed methodology for planning the game time of highly qualified female basketball players, grounded in the psychophysiological characteristics and emotional state of the athletes with the application of innovative technologies, contributed to a statistically significant improvement in technical- tactical indicators, specifically an increase in rebound effectiveness, a reduction in ball losses, and an enhancement of defensive activity. The integration of modern technologies and comprehensive analysis into the training of highly qualified female basketball players ensures an increase in the effectiveness of game actions, the overall productivity of the team, and the optimization of the training process through an individualized approach that accounts for the physiological and psychological characteristics of the athletes.
