Abstract

Possibilities for adaptation to high altitude conditions by the method of controlled breathing are investigated. It is determined that voluntary reduction in respiratory rate (to 6 per minute) among school students living in highlands improves the heart functioning. It identifies the possibility to correct the disturbances revealed during the investigation through the method of controlled breathing.
