VR vs Treadmill Exercise in Children With Asthma (VR-ASTHMA)
Comparison of Treadmill and Virtual Reality-Based Aerobic Exercise Programs in Children With Asthma

정황
상세 설명
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.
