Physical Activity of Asthmatic School Children and Teenagers: Evaluation and Perspectives

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.
