The classes will be based on an education videotape, presentations and group discussions. The first class will address the asthma education. The second class will be about the current international physical activity recommendations and the importance and benefits of being physically active. The behavioural intervention will be performed in 8 weekly goal-setting consultation, face-to-face, each lasting until 90 minutes. Patients will be offered a commercially-available activity tracker to wear during 3 days prior to each consultation.

Each participant will receive individual counselling with the goal of increasing participation in PA and reducing their sedentary time.
