Abstract

Aim. The paper aims to develop and test a method of physical rehabilitation in COVID-19 patients. Materials and methods. The following methods were used for the purpose of the study: literature and internet search and analysis, survey, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, statistical processing of the results, their analysis and synthesis. Our 4-month study involved 16 COVID-19 patients (moderate and moderate-severe disease) aged between 18 and
45 years. Results. Our physical rehabilitation method resulted in the improvement of the following mean values: HR – up to 73 bpm, blood pressure – up to115/75 mmHg, Stange test –up to 44 sec, Gench test – up to 36 s, Serkin test – up to 44, 21 and 38 s in the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd phases respectively. Therefore, general cardiorespiratory improvement was recorded. Conclusion. As a result of the study, improvement of the functional status and general well-being was recorded in COVID-19 patients. Our study provides the foundation for further research in the field.
