Summary

This study was planned to assess effects of Aerobic training with and without Sniff maneuver on Dyspnea, Functional capacity and Quality of life among Asthma Patients. Results showed that when aerobic training done along with the sniff maneuver had proven to be the more effective choice of treatment in reducing severity level of asthma along with the decreased perceived dyspnea and improved quality of life and functional capacity.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Aerobic exercise combined with the sniff maneuver technique

Aerobic exercises on a stationary bike or electric treadmill three times a week for six week. Five minutes of stretching, concentrated on the main lower limb muscle groups, were followed by a ten-minute warm-up, twenty minutes of training during the first two weeks and thirty minutes during the third to sixth week, and finally, a five-minute cooling-down phase..

OTHER

Aerobic exercise

The treadmill was used for both the warm-up and cooling-down phases. Heart rate was kept between 40% and 50% of maximum heart rate for these sessions. (5) To achieve a moderate exertion (rated as 11--13 on the Borg scale) and/or a moderate dyspnea (rated as 3---4 on the modified Borg scale), the intensity of the aerobic training was progressively increased.
