PROJECTING OF HEALTH PROGRAMS FOR POST-COVID PATIENTS AT FITNESS CENTERS

Aim: To develop and substantiate a complex health and fitness program << Fitness Energy >> for restoration of health of people who suffered from COVID-19 and experimentally verify its effectiveness at fitness centers. Materials and Methods: As a part of the research the complex assessment of somatic health status of people who suffered from COVID-19 was made using tests (Ruffier-Dickson Index, Stange and Gencha tests, Harvard step test, absolute and relative PWC 170). Results: The health and fitness program << Fitness Energy >> is developed, implemented and experimentally verified as a complex of selective breathing and aerobic exercises which are done in a particular order and allow acting deliberately on human body of people who suffered from COVID-19 to secure the maximum health-improvement effect. Conclusions: Experimental research confirmed the effectiveness of health and fitness program << Fitness Energy >>, in particular the overall result upon indications of functional status of people in experimental group (25,78 %) 17,5 % higher than in control one (8,22 %). This indicates the effectiveness of rehabilitation patients, in particular, improves the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, strengthens the muscles involved in respiration, increases the overall tone and efficiency of the body.
