Topicality. Hypoxia therapy is one of the most effective methods of physical rehabilitation. Hypoxic training is used for various disorders of human physiological activity, and can also be used by the elderly and pregnant women. The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of various hypoxic conditions during physical rehabilitation, namely, how the conditions of high mountain air affect the process of physical rehabilitation. Materials and methods. A systematic thematic bibliographic review was used to conduct this review study. The main portal for searching for publications was the Scopus and Web of sciences databases. In addition, we searched the bibliography of each article to include more studies related to the topic. A total of 45 publications were analysed. The sources studied were classified according to their focus. The study included publications covering aspects related to the impact of hypoxytherapy (in mountain air) on physical rehabilitation. Results and discussion. The paper deals with the literature sources where the most effective methods of hypoxytherapy are collected and analysed. The results of the effectiveness of hypoxytherapy in comparison with traditional methods are also presented. Conclusion. It has been established that hypoxia therapy has a number of positive effects on the human body. It promotes activation of haematopoiesis and increases the number of red blood cells, which improves oxygen supply to tissues and organs. This is especially important in the process of recovery from injury or surgery. Hypoxia activates mechanisms that reduce inflammation. This helps speed up the healing and recovery process after various injuries or diseases, especially in muscles and joints. By adapting to the conditions of reduced oxygen concentration, patients increase their physical endurance, which is an important aspect of rehabilitation after injuries or surgery, especially for athletes. Hypoxia stimulates metabolism and stimulates the nervous system. Hypoxia therapy has a large number of different approaches for the prevention and physical rehabilitation of patients. According to the literature review, the most practical is the method of passive intermittent hypoxic training and intermittent hypoxic-hyperoxic training. They are several times more effective than other methods of treatment and improvement of the physical state of human health.
