Evaluation of Physical Activity in Asthmatic Subjects
Evaluation of Physical Activity Before and After Respiratory Rehabilitation in Normal Weight
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Dec 2023
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Asthma is a chronic disease, which leads to a number of adverse outcomes, including lower levels of physical activity (PA). Physical inactivity is an important risk factor, increasing PA has become a patient-centred goal for the treatment of subjects with asthma. Data provided by activity monitors are commonly used to measure daily PA. A recent systematic review showed that adults with asthma had lower levels of total, moderate and vigorous physical activity than those without asthma. There are no data showing the possible effects of a Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) program on PA (number of daily steps) in normal-weight subjects with asthma. The main objective of this pilot study is to obtain estimates of the mean value of number of daily steps, time spent on activity in hours and of other variables in normal-weight subjects with asthma measured before and after the PR program. No estimates about these parameters in the same population are currently available from literature search.
