Pulmonary Rehabilitation Using Regular Physical Exercise for the Management of Patients with Asthma

Journal Title: Journal of Novel Physiotherapy and Physical Rehabilitation - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

Background: Regular physical activity increases physical fitness and lowers ventilation during mild and moderate exercise thereby reducing the likelihood of provoking exercise-induced asthma. Regular exercise may also reduce the perception of breathlessness through a number of mechanisms including strengthening respiratory muscles. Subjectively, many asthmatics report that they are symptomatically better when fit, but results from trials have varied and have been difficult to compare because of different designs and training protocols.
