Bronchial asthma – a chronic relapsing disease that affects 1-18 % of the population in various countries worldwide, die annually around 250,000 people. Asthma worsens quality of life, reduced exercise tolerance, causing respiratory dysfunction and poor physical condition of patients. The aim of research is to study the role of physical activity for rehabilitation of patients suffered from mild persistent asthma during their treatment at hospital. The study involved 30 patients being in hospital due to the exacerbation of asthmatic disease. To compare the effectiveness of the proposed physical rehabilitation program was formed two control groups of 30 patients who used medication and only with traditional methods of exercise. The average age of patients was 35,41 ± 1,05 years. Groups were formed by randomization patients were compared by sex and age. Monitoring the rehabilitation process conducted by the current and landmark controls, which ensure adequate treatment expansion and intensification of physical activity each patient. The program of physical rehabilitation is based on the survey results of patients, paying attention to their functional state, rapid assessment of health and physical features of the disease. The basis of the program was a gradual expansion of physical activity of patients. When building sessions followed a certain sequence purpose of physical training, which consisted of three parts: introduction, main and final. Used have morning hygienic gymnastics and gymnastics, independent study, individually and in small groups. One of the popular methods of training both in-patient and outpatient basis, was walking up the stairs. The second half of the course of rehabilitation systems used cyclic exercises. The use of dosed physical activity while physical rehabilitation of patients suffered from mild persistent asthma has improved functional status of their cardiovascular and respiratory systems, physical performance, quality of life, helped to control the disease.
