Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a physical training program with active video game in inflammatory markers, quality of life variables , clinical control and physical and functional respiratory assessment of asthmatic children from 5 to 11 years.

Detailed description

The aim of the present study will be to determine whether an aerobic exercise using an active video game system improves asthma control, lung inflammation and functional capacity in children with moderate or severe asthma.

Conditions

• Asthma

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Video game group	The training with video game will be done with heart rate monitors with intensity required to achieve 70% of maximum heart rate reached the maximum test for thirty minutes.Will be used Kinect games ( adventure- reflex ridge).
OTHER	Aerobic exercise group	A 10 minutes warm up period was performed on a treadmill at 2 km/h prior to each session. After that, exercise training was performed during 30 minutes beginning at 70% of the maximum effort determined in the maximal exercise testing. Before and after each session, 3 measures of the peak flow were performed in the standing position (AssessTM, USA). There was progression in the training intensity throughout the study: if the patient maintained 2 consecutive exercise sessions without symptoms, exercise intensity was increased by 5% of cardiac frequency by using either treadmill speed or grade as previously described (Mendes et al.2011).
