نبذة مختصرة : The aim of the research. To assess the impact of physiotherapy procedures on respiratory function, quality of life and functional capacity of patients who have recovered from COVID-19 disease. The methods of the research. 6 minute walk test, Hence and Stange test, spirometry, SF-36 questionnaire. The results of the research. Patients who have recovered from COVID-19 disease are characterized by good tolerance to physical exertion, impaired respiratory function and quality of life are observed. The 4-week PT significantly (p≤0.05) improved the functional capacity of the intervention group. There was a significantly longer breathing retention in the intervention, group after inhalation and exhalation (p≤0.05), and breathing retention in the control group after exhalation (p≤0.05). After PT, there was a significant improvement in the FVC and FEV1 indicators in the intervention group (p≤0.05), and the FEV1 (p≤0.05) in the control group. After PT, a significant improvement in the physical and mental health of the intervention group was observed (p≤0.05) and an improvement in the physical health of the control group (p≤0.05). The results in the intervention group were significantly better compared to the control group in terms of breathing retention on exhalation and quality of life. Research conclusions. The respiratory function, functional capacity and quality of life of the intervention group improved significantly after the physiotherapy program. The respiratory function and functional capacity of the control group remained unchanged, but the quality of life improved significantly. In the intervention group, the quality of life and breath retention on exhalation, after the physiotherapy program were significantly better compared to the subjects in the control group, but there was no significant difference in breathing retention, the volume of forced exhalation, the volume of air exhaled in the first second, and the functional capacity.
