Overview
Brief Summary
To identify clinical, personal and anthropometric characteristics among patients with asthma who respond and non-responders to a behavioral intervention to increase the level of physical activity.
Detailed Description
Adult participants of both genders with moderate to severe asthma, not physically active, will be evaluated after being informed about the study, agreeing and signing the informed consent form. After two days of evaluations, with an interval of 7 days between them, the participants will be included in a behavioral intervention program to increase physical activity for 8 weeks (once a week).
