NCT07394127Completed
A Community-Based Swimming and Inspiratory Muscle Training Intervention to Promote Physical Activity and Asthma Control in Children With Mild Asthma
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of adding inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to a structured swimming program on pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, ventilatory capacity, perceived exertion, and asthma control in children with mild persistent asthma. Thirty children aged 8-11 years were randomly assigned to either a swimming plus IMT group or a swimming-only group. Both groups participated in a supervised 4-week swimming program, while the experimental group additionally performed IMT twice daily. Pulmonary function tests, respiratory muscle strength, and Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) scores were assessed before and after the intervention.
