Physical Activity of Asthmatic Children

Overview

Physical activity is mandatory to the optimal development and health of children. The presence of asthmatic manifestations may influence the comportment of children and its family toward exercise and practice of sports. There no scientific argument to advice a reduction of physical activity in asthmatic children, but previous studies showed that physical activity is reduced in asthmatic children. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the existing factors leading to this reduction of physical activity in asthmatic children and their families.

Physical activity is mandatory to the optimal development and health of children. The presence of asthmatic manifestations may influence the behaviour of children and its family with a significant reduction of exercise and practice of sports. There no scientific argument to advice such a reduction of physical activity in asthmatic children. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the existing factors leading to this reduction of physical activity in asthmatic children and their families. To evaluate the factors explaining this behaviour the investigator design an observational study, based on a questionnaire. The evaluation of the number of sujets to complete this study is 50 asthmatic children. The whole population will be considered as the same group. This study may be further completed by a comparative and new study including asthmatic and non-asthmatic children.
