Abstract
The article considers the issue of functional changes in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of the body of preschool children in the process of recreational swimming based on the use of breathing exercises in water. A comparative analysis of the functional indicators of the cardiorespiratory system of children participating in the experiment is presented. The functional tests used by us to study the parameters of the cardiorespiratory system of the systems made it possible to determine the functional reserve and the quality of the response to the load from the cardiovascular system and the indicators of the functional state of the respiratory system.
