Abstract
Background: Asthma is a frequent pathological condition during childhood and adolescence. Young asthmatics demonstrate decreased aptitude for physical activity and a limited exercise capacity. Lower hospitalisation rates, reduced school absenteeism, fewer medical examinations, and limited use of bronchodilators have been documented in children and adolescents with bronchial asthma who engage in physical exercise regularly. Structured physical exercise protocols should be encouraged as they can work as a synergistic therapeutic option in addition to regular pharmacologic treatment. This article outlines the most suitable exercise training techniques for young patients with bronchial asthma and their effects on health status.
