Published reports recommend regular physical activity and participating in sports to be considered in the management of asthma (6). Evidence-based analysis identifies exercise training as the most effective part of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs, which comprise multidisciplinary therapy with essential components such as assesment, patient education, exercisetraining, psychosocial intervention and follow-up programs have been increasingly prescribed for adult patients with chronic pulmonary diseases including bronchial asthma.These programs have been proven to increase functional capacity, decrease symptoms, especially dyspnoea, reduce utilization of healthcare resources and, finally, improve QoL (7, 9, 10). On the other hand, published reports on the rehabilitationof children with chronic pulmonary diseases are sparse. Positive effects of physical training on cardiopulmonary fitness and pulmonary function have been reported in these studies, butpublished data lacks evidence of the effects of exercise on QoL in asthmatic children (6).
