Purpose: to give scientific justification to the technique of performing breathing exercises by students with cardiological diseases. Material: Female students of 1-2 courses (n=61) participated in the experiment. All females had cardiological diseases: vegetovascular dystonia, hypotonia, hypertension, heart arrhythmia, insufficient blood circulation. The following groups created: experimental (n=28) and control (n=33). They trained for 90 min (2 times per week). The annual volume of training for each group was 68 hours. Results: Females of the experimental group had significant positive changes according to the majority of indicators: economization of myocardium activity, oxygen transportation opportunities of an organism, aerobic opportunities of an organism, physical working capacity. It was also determined more significant positive changes: vital capacity, strength, flexibility, coordination. It is confirmed the expediency of systematic application of the breathing exercises with a full breath and interval hypoxia. Conclusions: It is expedient to perform breathing exercises on the classes of the subject "Physical culture" with the students suffer from cardiological diseases.
