Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine the acute effect of high intensity interval exercise on respiratory function and rhinitis symptoms in allergic rhinitis patients.

Detailed description

Twelve patients with allergic rhinitis aged between 19 and 31 years who had a positive skin prick test to house dust mite (D. pteronyssinus). The experiment was a crossover design in which each participant was given two types of high-intensity interval training exercise (HIT): HIT 1:1 (high intensity for 1 minute at 85-90% of maximum heart rate, then alternating with low intensity 50-55% of maximum heart rate for 1 minute) and HIT 1:2 (high intensity for 1 minute at 85-90% of maximum heart rate, then alternating with low intensity 50-55% of maximum heart rate for 2 minutes). Rhinitis symptoms, nasal blood flow, peak nasal inspiratory flow, pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide were measured before and immediately, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes after exercise for each exercise program.

Conditions

• Allergic Rhinitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	HIT 1:1	The participants received a high-intensity interval exercise program of walking or running on a treadmill for approximately 40 minutes. The training included a 10-minute warm-up at low intensity. High-intensity interval exercise at a ratio of 1:1 (high intensity for 1 minute at 85-90% of maximum heart rate, then alternating with low intensity 50-55% of maximum heart rate for 1 minute).
OTHER	HIT 1:2	The participants received a high-intensity interval exercise program of walking or running on a treadmill for approximately 40 minutes. The training included a 10-minute warm-up at low intensity. High-intensity interval exercise at a ratio of 1:2 (high intensity for 1 minute at 85-90% of maximum heart rate, then alternate with low intensity 50-55% of maximum heart rate for 2 minutes).
