VR vs Treadmill Exercise in Children With Asthma
Comparison of Treadmill and Virtual Reality-Based Aerobic Exercise Programs in Children With Asthma
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to compare the effects of virtual reality-based aerobic exercise and treadmill-based aerobic exercise on functional capacity, pulmonary function, and clinical outcomes in children with asthma. Participants aged 10-17 years with physician-diagnosed asthma will be randomly assigned to either a virtual reality-based exercise group or a treadmill exercise group. Both groups will undergo supervised exercise training sessions twice a week for 8 weeks. Primary outcome will be the 6-Minute Walk Test. Secondary outcomes include pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, asthma control, quality of life, and exercise adherence.
