Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Asthma
• Interventions: Other: Sprint Interval Training; Other: pharmacological treatment; Other: Moderate Intensity Interval Training

• Registration Number: NCT06197737
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

To compare the effects of moderate intensity interval training and sprint interval training on patients having chronic asthma.

Detailed Description

Chronic asthma is a complex heterogeneous disease characterized by multiple aggravating factors. Asthma is treated with two types of medicines , long term medicines and quick relieve medicine. Although the relationship between asthma and the effects of HIIT/SIT were studied in the literature, there was not one comparing the results of these aforementioned studies. The purpose of this study is to find the effects of moderate intensity interval training and sprint interval training on pat determine effects of group wise physical activity on asthma related quality of life. To determine the effects of group wise physical activity on cardiorespiratory endurance

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Sprint Interval Training	Sprint Interval Training	These participants will perform sprint interval training and frequency will be 3 days a week. The participants will perform sprint interval training in which they will do stair climbing 3 times a week with a fast pace.
pharmacological treatment	pharmacological treatment	They will be on pharmacological treatment as prescribed by their pulmonologist.
Moderate Intensity Interval Training	Moderate Intensity Interval Training	These participants will perform moderate intensity interval training. The intervention will be applied thrice a week. Moderate intensity interval training in which they do stair climbing 3 times a week And for every 1 interval I will ask them to take rest for 3 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Assessment of change in the Inspiratory Capacity	Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week	It will measured using an incentive spirometer
Assessment of change in the Oxygen saturation	Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week	Measured using pulse oximeter before, during and after the intervention.
Assessment of change in the Pulmonary Function	Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week	Electronic spirometer will be used to measure all the parameters of pulmonary function.
Assessment of change in the Rate of perceived exertion / dyspnea	Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week	measured through borg scale during the assigned intervention
Assessment of change in the cardiovascular endurance	Baseline, 8th week and then 16th week	PACER test for cardiovascular endurance test
