Associations of physical activity with childhood asthma, a population study based on the WHO - health behaviour in school-aged children survey.

Background: Asthma in paediatric populations is one of the highest public health concerns. In this study of children and adolescents, we hypothesized that low levels of physical activity (PA) would show associations with asthma that vary by asthma outcome. The objective was to assess whether PA was associated with and/or .

Childhood asthma and physical activity: a systematic review with meta-analysis and Graphic Appraisal Tool for Epidemiology assessment.

Background: Childhood asthma is a global problem affecting the respiratory health of children. Physical activity (PA) plays a role in the relationship between asthma and respiratory health. We hypothesized that a low level of PA would be associated with asthma in children and adolescents.

Predicted aerobic capacity of asthmatic children: a research study from clinical origin.

Objective. To compare longitudinally PAC of asthmatic children against that of healthy controls during ten months. Methods.

Cardiorespiratory fitness of asthmatic children and validation of predicted aerobic capacity.

Introduction: Predicted aerobic capacity (PAC) was estimated by submaximal exercise test and compared with monitored aerobic capacity (MAC) measured by laboratory conditions [maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2peak))] in 18 children and adolescents, 10 asthmatics and 8 matched controls.

Objectives: To compare aerobic capacity between asthmatic children and controls, to estimate the agreement between PAC and MAC and observe for trend of PAC.

Materials And Methods: The design was prospective, 4 years (PAC) and cross-sectional (MAC and VO(2peak)).
