Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Submaximal exercise capacity - will be assessed by the 6-minute Walk Test before and after the intervention. Improvements are expected at this stage in subway distance after the intervention | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Quality of life - will be assessed using the Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ). Improvement in this outcome is expected after intervention;Objective physical activity in daily life (PADL) - will be assessed using the Power Walker PW 610 activity monitor to count the number of steps/day and calories burned. An improvement in this outcome is expected after the intervention;Subjective physical activity - will be assessed using the Physical Activity Questionnaire For Children (PAQ-C). Improvement in this outcome is expected after the intervention;Lung function - assessed by Spirometry. Improvement in this outcome is expected after the intervention;Peak expiratory flow - assessed by peak expiratory flow meter. Improvement in this outcome is expected after the intervention;Respiratory muscle strength - maximum inspiratory pressure and maximum expiratory pressure will be measured using a Manovacuometer. It is expected that this outcome will improve after the intervention;Peripheral muscle strength - will be assessed by the One Repetition Maximum Test (1RM). It is expected to improve this outcome after the intervention;Level of asthma knowledge - will be assessed by the Newcastle Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire (NAKQ). It is expected to improve this outcome after the intervention;Asthma control - will be assessed by the Childhood Asthma Control Test (c-ACT). Improvement in this outcome is expected after the intervention;Flexibility - will be assessed using the Wells sit and reach test. Improvement in this outcome is expected after the intervention;Sleep quality - will be assessed using the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for Children and Adolescents (ESS-CHAD). Improvement in this outcome is expected after the intervention;Maximal exercise capacity - will be assessed using the Modified Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT). Improvement in this outcome is expected after the intervention | — |
