Abstract:
Schoolchildren who have contracted Covid-19 have to undergo long-term rehabilitation therapy, as the coronavirus infection worsens their functional state and the course of the disease is accompanied by complications. To date, the problem of restoring the functional state of schoolchildren who have undergone Covid-19 has not been solved sufficiently. The purpose of the study was to experimentally substantiate the use of special breathing exercises in improving the functional state of schoolchildren in the post-Covid-19 period. The study involved 20 schoolchildren 10-11 years old. The study of functional state was carried out with the help of Spirolab 3 spirometer and functional tests of Stange and Ruffier. The initial examination revealed that the functional state of schoolchildren who had undergone Covid-19 was characterised by reduced indices of external respiration, low resistance to hypoxia and unsatisfactory adaptation of the cardiovascular system to physical exertion. After implementation of the proposed methodology, a significant increase in the indicators of external respiratory function, increased resistance to hypoxia and changes in adaptation to physical load were revealed. The analysis of indicators characterising the functional state of schoolchildren 10-11 years old after the study proves the high efficiency of using special breathing exercises and accelerates recovery after the disease.
