[Effect of normobaric hypoxia and physical load on the functional indices of cardiorespiratory system in overweight people].

Changes in the cardiorespiratory function in obese persons exposed to different combinations of normobaric hypoxia and physical exercise were studied. The results show a positive effect of combined use of normobaric hypoxic exercise on functional reserves of cardiorespiratory system, physical performance and aerobic potentialities in obese patients. The highest effect is achieved in combination of physical exercise with hypoxic gas mixtures breathing.
