VR vs Treadmill Exercise in Children With Asthma (VR-ASTHMA)

20. Juli 2026 aktualisiert von: Ayşe Sena Manzak, Bezmialem Vakif University

Comparison of Treadmill and Virtual Reality-Based Aerobic Exercise Programs in Children With Asthma

This study aims to compare the effects of virtual reality-based aerobic exercise and treadmill-based aerobic exercise on functional capacity, pulmonary function, and clinical outcomes in children with asthma. Participants aged 10-17 years with physician-diagnosed asthma will be randomly assigned to either a virtual reality-based exercise group or a treadmill exercise group. Both groups will undergo supervised exercise training sessions twice a week for 8 weeks. Primary outcome will be the 6-Minute Walk Test. Secondary outcomes include pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, asthma control, quality of life, and exercise adherence.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases in childhood and is associated with reduced physical activity, decreased functional capacity, and impaired quality of life. Regular aerobic exercise is recommended as part of asthma management; however, participation in exercise programs is often limited due to fear of symptom exacerbation and low motivation.

Virtual reality-based exercise programs have emerged as a novel approach to increase motivation and adherence in pediatric populations by integrating gamification into physical activity. Despite growing interest, there is limited evidence comparing virtual reality-based aerobic exercise with conventional aerobic exercise in children with asthma.

This prospective randomized controlled study will include children aged 10-17 years diagnosed with asthma. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: a virtual reality-based aerobic exercise group and a treadmill-based exercise group. Both groups will receive standardized asthma education prior to the intervention.

The intervention will consist of 40-minute sessions (5-minute warm-up, 30-minute main exercise, and 5-minute cool-down), performed twice weekly for 8 weeks. Functional capacity, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, asthma control, and quality of life will be assessed before and after the intervention.

This study aims to evaluate whether virtual reality-based aerobic exercise can be an effective and engaging alternative to traditional aerobic exercise in pediatric asthma rehabilitation.

Asthma Control Test (ACT) Score
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Week 8
Asthma control assessed using the Asthma Control Test (ACT). The ACT score ranges from 5 to 25, with higher scores indicating better asthma control. Scores of 20-25 indicate well-controlled asthma, 16-19 indicate partially controlled asthma, and 5-15 indicate uncontrolled asthma.
Baseline and Week 8
Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) Score
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Week 8
