Childhood asthma (CA) is a growing problem affecting the respiratory health of children. Physical activity (PA) plays a role in the relationship between asthma and respiratory health. Information on factors associated with cardiorespiratory fitness levels among the children with CA is limited. Here we summarize the list of guidelines available for the management of the children with CA and the role of paediatric physiotherapist in assisting children for better living.
