Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the implementation of the protocol will favor the reduction of asthma attacks in the patients participating in the study as well as promoting gains in strength, volumes and cardiorespiratory capacities in the short and medium term. ;It is expected that the improvement in fitness and physical conditioning associated with modulation of effort, reduction of dyspnea and bronchospasm induced by exercise will alleviate acute symptoms until the interval between crises increases, consequently reducing the use of inhaled medication. ;It is expected that the reduction of the severity and intensity of the children's aggravation will allow them to fit into society in a way that they are not limited to light aerobic activities such as playing ball, swimming and participating in other games. | — |
