简要总结
To analyze either Liuzijue exercise or Tai Chi Chuan exercise is effective in improving dyspnea index and pulmonary function in patients with asthma. In the general population, the rate of asthma is increasing day by day because of environmental and occupational risk factors which is becoming a burden. It causes shortness of breath, decreases lung volume, and disturbs quality of life. This study aims to improve dyspnea index, lung volume and quality of life of the patients with asthma.
详细描述
Liuzijue Exercise is the most popular exercise in ancient Chinese literature which is compiled by the Chinese Qigong Management Centre. Liuzijue exercise includes inhalation and exhalation through various mouth patterns to manage and control the rise and fall of the breath in the body. It is performed by delivering 6 distinct sounds, ("xū", "hē", "hū", "sī", "chuī", and "xī") through termination along with comparing body activities. It is very helpful to improve pulmonary functions, exercise capacity, and quality of life of patients with pulmonary disease.
Liuzijue exercise takes on the backward abdominal breathing technique joined with physical exercises, which can practice the diaphragm and chest auxiliary respiratory muscles. Hence, the patient's breathing time is extended, and the breathing profundity increments. To accomplish the reason for expanding the gas exchange rate of the lungs and enhancing the lung capacity. Tai Chi Chuan is a traditional Chinese Exercise that is significant in improving the pulmonary functions of asthmatic patients.
Tai Chi (10 forms of yang style ) significantly improves the exercise capacity of patients with lung disease. Tai Chi seems to have physiologic and psychosocial benefits and appears to be protected and viable in advancing balance control, adaptability, and cardiovascular fitness for older adults.

结局指标
主要结局
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)
时间窗: 6 weeks
Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in the clinical setting to analyze
Dyspnea index
时间窗: 6 weeks
From baseline till 2nd, 4th, and 6th week measured throug Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnoea scale. It is a self-rating scale to quantify the level of incapacity that breathlessness presents on everyday activity on a scale from Grade 0 to 4. Grade 0: No shortness of breath besides on exhausting activity Grade1: Breathlessness while hustling fair and square or strolling along a slight slope Grade 2: Strolls more slow than individuals of same age fair and square in light of shortness of breath or needs to stop to take breath while strolling at their own speed fair and square Grade 3: Stop for breath subsequent to strolling ∼100 m or following couple of moments fair and square. Grade 4: Excessively breathless to take off from the house, or breathless while dressing or stripping down
