Context: Currently, chronic obstructive bronchitis remains a very common disease in adolescence. The
study involved 42 adolescents 13-14 years old suffering from at least 5 years of chronic obstructive
bronchitis without signs of respiratory failure. At the time of the examination of adolescents, this disease
was in a state of unstable remission. For adolescents with chronic obstructive bronchitis, a decrease in the
vital capacity of the lungs and diameter of the bronchi of any caliber is characteristic. This quickly leads to
a significant decrease in the functionality of the external respiration apparatus. With this disease, resistance
of the respiratory center to hypoxia and a weakening of the adaptive capabilities of the respiratory system
arise early. Regular performance of asanas in adolescents with chronic obstructive bronchitis leads to the
restoration of the functional properties of their respiratory system and circulatory system, and optimizes
their hypoxia resistance.
