About

Asthma, a prevalent chronic condition among children and adolescents, substantially impairs their quality of life. In addressing this significant health concern, this study focuses on the potential of a customized exercise rehabilitation program tailored for this young demographic. By employing a randomized controlled trial design, the research aims to divide participants into two distinct groups: one undergoing a personalized exercise regimen and the other receiving standard medical care. The 12-week intervention for the exercise group includes a combination of aerobic activities, strength training, and targeted breathing exercises. The study's primary aim is to rigorously evaluate the impact of this specialized exercise protocol on critical health aspects such as lung function, physical endurance, frequency of asthma attacks, and overall quality of life. The anticipated findings from this research are expected to shed new light on effective asthma management strategies and offer invaluable guidance for clinical practices dedicated to improving health outcomes in young asthma patients.
