Abstract: Many viruses have been studied that can cause this pathology.  Having overcome a disease caused by one virus, a person can be immediately infected with other viruses of this group and again suffer an acute respiratory viral infection.  The annual economic damage from acute respiratory viral infection in Russia reaches 40 billion rubles, which is 80% of the damage from all infectious diseases.  Now research on various aspects of acute respiratory viral infection is ongoing.   The aim of the present study was to consider the basics of physiologically based physical rehabilitation after acute respiratory viral infection. This leads to improved methods for diagnosing viral and bacterial infections in the very early stages of the disease and to the development of effective antiviral drugs.  The development of various effective options for physical rehabilitation after acute respiratory viral infection to accelerate the functional recovery of an ill person’s body is also actively ongoing.  It is recognized that the correction of a person’s condition in acute respiratory viral infections should begin when the first signs of the disease appear.  It should provide a warning of the further development of the pathological process, exclude the development of complications, their relief. Much attention is now being paid to etiotropic drugs, which are considered as first-line defense and have an inhibitory effect on the reproduction of viruses.  The rehabilitation of those who have been ill for the first 7-10 days is based on static breathing exercises, and then dynamic ones.  Over the course of the subsequent rehabilitation period, general strengthening exercises are added.  To prevent complications, systematic hardening of the body is recommended.
