This study is a randomize control trail to determine the best care for reducing the severity of symptoms and improve physical capacity from the period from 1/11/ 2024 until 30/4/ 2025. The expected result is decreasing severity of asthma and improve physical capacity.

Primary outcomes

  1. asthma severity

    Time frame: thee month

    Education intervention for asthma prevention. self-management practices and adaptation behaviors: rinsing the nose with salty water, inhalation of steam, proper technique of using inhalers, breathing and Aerobic exercises. Lara Asthma Symptom Scale was used total score between 8 and 40, where higher scores indicate more severe asthma symptoms.

Secondary outcomes

  1. physical activity level among participants

    Time frame: three month

    Education intervention to improv physical capacity. self-management practices and adaptation behaviors: rinsing the nose with salty water, inhalation of steam, proper technique of using inhalers, breathing and Aerobic exercises. International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form adopted is a self-reported tool, in which physical activity grades over the previous seven days were explored and conveyed in metabolic equivalents. The scores for diverse activities were then collected to develop the overall MET-min/week. The physical activity (PA) level was divided into three categories: low (less than 600 MET/min/week), moderate (more than 600 MET/min/week), and high (more than 3000 MET/min/week).
