Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a physical training program with active video game in inflammatory markers, quality of life variables , clinical control and physical and functional respiratory assessment of asthmatic children from 5 to 11 years.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Video game group

The training with video game will be done with heart rate monitors with intensity required to achieve 70% of maximum heart rate reached the maximum test for thirty minutes.Will be used Kinect games ( adventure- reflex ridge).

OTHER

Aerobic exercise group

A 10 minutes warm up period was performed on a treadmill at 2 km/h prior to each session. After that, exercise training was performed during 30 minutes beginning at 70% of the maximum effort determined in the maximal exercise testing. Before and after each session, 3 measures of the peak flow were performed in the standing position (AssessTM, USA). There was progression in the training intensity throughout the study: if the patient maintained 2 consecutive exercise sessions without symptoms, exercise intensity was increased by 5% of cardiac frequency by using either treadmill speed or grade as previously described (Mendes et al.2011).
