About this study

Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by airway inflammation and constriction, presents ongoing challenges despite advancements in treatment.The aim of this study is to found out the comparative effects of energy conservation techniques versus circuit training on dyspnea, functional capacity and quality of life in asthmatic patients. Method: This study will be conducted at "Doctors Hospital" Jhang, it is randomized clinical trial (RCT) which will divided into two groups: Group A include energy conservation techniques with the baseline exercise which is diaphragmatic exercise and Group B include circuit training along with baseline exercise. Total 32 subjects will be recruited according inclusion and exclusions criteria by convenient sampling technique. Data collection procedure will follow standardized procedures like pre-assessment and post-assessment which will be after 4 weeks with 6MWT, dyspnea borg scale, and STGeorge questionnaire. Hypothesis postulated that the one intervention will be more affected than the other. However, null hypothesis will suggest that there is no significant difference between the two interventions.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subjects with asthma diagnosis grade according to FEV 60%-80%

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnancy
  • Previous breathing exercise training
  • Severe comorbidity
  • Patients with short life expectancy
  • subjects with Severe physical impairments
  • Subjects with Mental disease

Treatment and study plan

Energy Conservation Technique

Other

Energy conservation technique is used to focus on reducing physical fatigue and improving daily functioning through pacing, planning, prioritizing, and simplifying tasks.

  • After breathing exercise as a baseline 2. Dictate some activities like that on first patient use more energy expenditure than less it might be his ADL's

Circuit Training

Other

Circuit training is a series of exercises that involve little or no rest between repetitions. it is a resistance training for asthmatic patients at their pace.

After warm up patient move to next station which consumed higher H.R After that move to resting period like using or working on low H.R

Primary outcomes

  1. 6MWT

    Time frame: through study completion, approximately 4 weeks

    Changes from baseline, is a safe, reliable, and valid tool for assessing functional exercise capacity in asthma patients, including those with severe, uncontrolled, or difficult-to-treat asthma.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale

    Time frame: through study completion, approximately 4 weeks

    Changes from baseline, a 0-10 category ratio scale used to subjectively quantify the intensity of breathlessness or shortness of breath, particularly during physical activity or rehabilitation

  2. ST George questionnaire

    Time frame: through study completion, approximately 4 weeks

    Changes from baseline, to measure health-related quality of life, specifically in patients with chronic airflow obstruction diseases.
