Summary

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises combined with the patient education program (AEP) and breathing exercises in patients with asthma.

Design: A randomized controlled study Setting: Chest diseases clinic of a university hospital. Subjects: The study sample consists of 26-68 years old asthma patients who were diagnosed at least 6 month prior to the study.

Interventions: All subjects were included in the asthma education program (AEP) and both groups were trained for diaphragmatic and pursed lip breathing exercises (2times/wk. 6-week duration at clinic). The core stabilization program was applied twice a week for a duration of 6 weeks in TG.

Main Measures: Spirometry, maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS), Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire(AQOL), Six-minute walking test(6MWT), Prokin PK200, Italy were used to evaluate feasibility of interventions.
