The sample consisted of sixteen man of aged average 24.5 year, average height 181.9 cm and weight 80.4 kg. The average of static pulse rate was 56.4 beats min^-1. The average heart rate max was 189.7 ± 7.8 beats min^-1. For the calculation of HR_max (maximal heart rate), a mathematical figure HR_max = 207 – (0.7 × age) was used. Probands have participated on the same day on a tournament in beach and handball tournament. HR (heart rate) was monitored via Sport Tester Polar. The results were evaluated by Polar software. The data was statistically compiled with the use of arithmetic average and standard deviation. The players played three matches in beach volleyball on one set to 21 points (necessary difference of 2 points). One set lasted approximate 13.5 min. After a break, they went to play three matches in beach handball. The average HR during beach volleyball was 149.5 ± 14.1 beats min^-1 and 164.3 ± 14.5 beats min^-1 in beach handball. In beach volleyball, we also focused on players’ intensity load differences 172 ± 14.1 beats min^-1and goalkeepers 156.5 ± 16.6 beats min^-1. In the beach volleyball, players spend most of their playing time on the playing area in the zone intensity load 80%-90% HR_max (36% playing time). In the beach handball, players spend most of their playing time on the playing area in the zone intensity load 90%-100% HR_max (39% playing time).
