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.
