This diploma thesis focuses on the comparison of the measured values of selected spirometric parameters (FVC, FEV1, PEF) and the results of quality of life questionnaires (Karnofsky score and Jones shortbreathness score) in two groups, one of which had a prescribed rehabilitation program and the other was a control group. The theoretical part summarizes knowledge about the disease COVID-19 and its immediate and long-term impact, especially on the respiratory system. It also deals with the use of specific methods of respiratory rehabilitation in patients who have experienced the disease of COVID-19. The main goal of the practical part is to verify the effect of respiratory rehabilitation - a prescribed rehabilitation program on lung functions in patients after pneumonia caused by the disease COVID-19. Methodology: A total of 20 patients (average age 60±11,04 years) after pneumonia caused by the disease COVID-19 were included in the research, of which 10 followed the prescribed rehabilitation program. On the day of the end of hospitalization and a second time with an interval of 2-3 months, the spirometric parametres of the probands of both groups were measured and the quality of life was determined using questionnaires. The S-Index and chest amplitude were also measured in the experimental group...
