Abstract

In this study, we aimed at verifying the effects of a 10–week respiratory exercise programme and swimming regarding lifestyle, motor performance and behaviour of expiratory flow in asthmatic children and adolescents. Thirteen subjects have participated in this study, and their mean age was 11.09 ± 2.24 years, including both genders—male and female. In order to assess the lifestyle, we used a questionnaire on how to use medication and conditions to do physical activities, improve sleep and suchlike. To verify the behaviour of expiratory flow, we used expirometer, and to assess the motor performance we used the Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP). The results showed improvements for the elements of lifestyle, as this study authors observed, and a slightly improvement for the expiratory flow after the programme. Regarding the motor performance, there was not statistically significant difference after the programme.
