详细描述
This research aims to identify if an exercise and/or asthma education programme, called 'Active Airways', is feasible and acceptable in the paediatric asthma patient. Feasibility, the primary outcome of this study, will be evaluated by calculating the percentage of people approached who participate in the intervention (recruitment) and the percentage who complete the intervention (retention and adherence). The investigators also want to see if the Active Airways programme could improve cardiorespiratory fitness, quality of life and lung function, reduce asthma attacks and reduce healthcare use.
