The development of new effective methods of physical education of junior schoolchildren and search of combinations of instruments and methods of training, contributing to the increase interest to physical education lessons, activation of motor activity in the lesson, the integrated development of motor skills and the increase of the level of functionality of the leading systems of the body is an actual interdisciplinary problem. The aim of this work was to study the influence of “Qigong” on the functional state of the cardiorespiratory system of schoolchildren. In the period 2016–2017, 34 children of 10–12 years of age were examined; they were divided into two groups: the control group consisted of 10 pupils engaged in physical education according to the school program. The main group consisted of 24 pupils of the same age in addition to physical education practiced for one year three times a week for two academic hours Taoist gymnastics “Qigong” by the method of the school “Dragon-Tiger” of Lun-Hu-Chuan. The study was conducted during the academic year (four steps). In both groups at each step it was studied the indicators of the cardiohemodynamics and spirometry. It is shown that there is an increase in the intensity of the influence of the autonomic nervous system on systemic circulation of the children from the main group and there is a decrease in metabolic and humoral effects on the heart. In the control group, the changes were mainly related to the vascular system and less in cardiac activity.
