[Possibilities of respiratory exercises in medical rehabilitation of preschool age children with respiratory organs pathology].

The purpose of the work is to study efficiency of a new medical technology in rehabilitation of children with respiratory organs pathology. 177 children at the age from 2 to 7 years were randomized into two groups: 90 children of the main group performed the complexes of physical and respiratory exercises according to developed medical technology, 87 children of the control group performed standard physical exercises on physical training classes. The results of the study revealed decrease in frequency of acute respiratory disease in 1.83 times, exacerbation of bronchial asthma in 1.86 times in children of the main group.
