Abstract

The clinical and physiological effects of a medically supervised, indoor physical training programme were investigated in 36 asthmatic subjects aged 16-40 years. After clinical evaluation, lung function assessment, and progressive incremental exercise testing subjects were randomly allocated to control and training groups. The measurements were repeated after a six week run in period and after a further three months in which those in the training group underwent an indoor training programme. The measurements made at three months were compared with those at the end of the run in period. There was no significant change in anthropometric characteristics, blood lipid profiles, or the provocative concentration of histamine causing a 20% fall in FEV1 (histamine PC20) in the group who underwent training. After training there were significant increases in mean maximal oxygen uptake (ml kg-1 min-1) from 23 (5) to 28 (6), oxygen pulse (ml/beat) from 8.8 (2.3) to 10.8 (2.4), and anaerobic threshold (1/min) from 1.11 (0.27) to 1.38 (0.33). These changes were significantly greater in the group undergoing training than in the control group. There was also a significant fall in breathlessness scores (Borg ratings), blood lactate, carbon dioxi...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
