The role of controlled dosage physical exercise in the treatment of owerweight children with asthma

Abstract

The study includes 115 children aged 6 to 11 years with exogenous asthma of varying severity, with different levels of control. Children with asthma were divided into two groups according to the level of physical development: I group (60 children) with harmonic physical development and II group (55 children) overweight. It was found that overweight children who have overweight greater than (4,2 ± 0,3) there are patients with severe bronchial asthma and higher than (2,5 ± 0,2) there are children with the uncontrolled progress of the disease in comparison with a group of patients with a harmonious physical development. There were recommendations on physical exercise for overweight children of 6-11 years with moderate asthma depending on the degree of control of asthma during the major periods of rehabilitation. It is shown that the efficacy of integrated application of dosed physical exercise and lipid-lowering diet with exception of carbohydrate is 1.7 times better in comparison with using only a standard diet in addition to the basic treatment of asthma.
