EX-ASTHMA STUDYEffects of aerobic exercise on asthma morbidity We want to evaluate the effects of a 12-weeks of aerobic exercise program (for example, walking, running, and cycling) on asthma control (asthma symptoms) and quality of life (how much interferes with your daily life). We anticipate that the results from this study will be included in future management guidelines for asthma.
