Abstract:
Study aim: To assess how aerobic exercise training affects airway inflammation, lung function, and asthma management in adult asthmatics.
Method: The paper complies with the reporting requirements stated in the PRISMA declaration. RCTs comparing aerobic exercise training regimens versus no intervention were taken into consideration. We searched the online databases (EMBase, CINAHL, Medline, and Cochrane). We searched via several datasets from 2011 to 2018.
Result: In this systematic review, six publications were included. A low-calorie diet, ambiguous aerobic exercise training, indoor cycling, treadmill exercise, breathing exercises, gym membership, intermittent personal training sessions, diet adjustment, and treadmill exercise are among the interventions employed. FEV1 was used to assess the lung's outcome function, while ACQ, ACQ5, and ACQ6 were used to test the asthma control outcome. Breathing methods, nutrition modification, education, and fake workouts and low-calorie meals are some of the interventions for the controls.
Conclusion: The results of the study show that aerobic exercise training improves asthma management and lung function but has no effect on indicators of localized airway inflammation.
