Abstract

The main objective of the study is to analyze the influence of physical exercise on asthmatic children and adolescents. In the design of this study, a descriptive-referential methodology was used through bibliographic reviews. Two clinical reliability questionnaires, Test Can and Test Act, were evaluated, and the level of physical activity was assessed through the PAQ-C (Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children) and PAQ-A (Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents). Significant evidence was found related to the influence of physical exercise in improving asthma control in the study population.
