Summary

The aim of the study was to develop an active video-based high-intensity interval exercise system for the rehabilitation programs of children with asthma and to compare its immediate effects on heart rate variability, hemodynamic responses and thermal responses with a conventional high-intensity interval exercise.

Detailed description

The research consists of two main stages. For the first stage, an active video-based high-intensity interval exercise system will be developed. The game to be developed is considered as an entertaining supporter that adjusts the exercise intensity with the data by the heart rate sensor, warns with visual cues when the child needs to increase the exercise intensity, and keeps the child engaged in the exercise. The second stage is planned to compare the exercise system with the conventional high-intensity interval exercise method that has the same features. The patient follow-up process will be monitored as; the patient who meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be directed by the physician, the patient and family consent will be obtained, pre-intervention evaluation, randomization, intervention, and post-intervention evaluation. The entire process will be carried out in one day. The patients will be randomized into two groups: conventional high-intensity interval exercise and game-based high-intensity interval exercise, before the evaluation with the closed envelope method. Exercise will be applied at equal intensity (85% of the maximum heart rate) and duration for both groups, and the heart rate of the game-based group will be monitored with the sensor integrated into the game.

Conditions

• Asthma in Children

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Exercise	After all of the participants perform a symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test, they included a single session high intensity interval exercise created according to test results. They randomized to two gorups as video and treadmill-based or only treadmill-based high intensity interval exercise.
