About this study

Chronic asthma is a complex heterogeneous disease characterized by multiple aggravating factors. Asthma is treated with two types of medicines , long term medicines and quick relieve medicine. Although the relationship between asthma and the effects of HIIT/SIT were studied in the literature, there was not one comparing the results of these aforementioned studies. The purpose of this study is to find the effects of moderate intensity interval training and sprint interval training on pat determine effects of group wise physical activity on asthma related quality of life. To determine the effects of group wise physical activity on cardiorespiratory endurance

Treatment and study plan

Moderate Intensity Interval Training

Other

Participants in this group will perform moderate intensity interval training in which they will perform stair climbing 3 times a week and for every 1 interval I will ask them to take rest for 3 minutes.

Sprint Interval Training

Other

sprint interval training in which they will do stair climbing 3 times a week with a fast pace.

pharmacological treatment

Other

They will be on pharmacological treatment as prescribed by their pulmonologist.

Primary outcomes

  1. Assessment of change in the Inspiratory Capacity

    Time frame: Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week

    It will measured using an incentive spirometer

  2. Assessment of change in the Pulmonary Function

    Time frame: Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week

    Electronic spirometer will be used to measure all the parameters of pulmonary function.

  3. Assessment of change in the Oxygen saturation

    Time frame: Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week

    Measured using pulse oximeter before, during and after the intervention.

  4. Assessment of change in the Rate of perceived exertion / dyspnea

    Time frame: Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week

    measured through borg scale during the assigned intervention

  5. Assessment of change in the cardiovascular endurance

    Time frame: Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week

    PACER test for cardiovascular endurance test
