- Barriers to daily life physical activities for Brazilian children with asthma: a cross-sectional study(2020) SOUSA, Andrey Wirgues; CABRAL, Anna Lucia Barros; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; CARVALHO, Celso R. F.Background Objective: To identify barriers to daily life physical activities (DLPA) and to evaluate physical activity levels for children with asthma and without asthma. Method: This is a cross-sectional study that enrolled 130 children with asthma and 54 non-asthma, from 7 to 12 years old. All of the children in both groups used an accelerometer for 6 consecutive days to assess DLPA and completed a questionnaire to evaluate barriers to physical activity. Accelerometer was used to measure each child's total number of steps, as well as the number of steps and the time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The barrier questionnaire to DLPA included 11 questions, divided into three domains: personal, social and environmental. Results: The most commonly described barrier to DLPA in the asthma and non-asthma groups was an unsafe environment (23.6% vs 28.5%, respectively). The asthma group reported having asthma (19%) and lack of parental encouragement (17.3%) as being other important barriers to DLPA. It was also observed that the asthma and non-asthma groups presented similar values for the total number of steps (13,379 +/- 3,837 vs 14,055 +/- 3,914, respectively, p > 0.05), number of steps in MVPA (5,654 +/- 1,988 vs. 6,025 +/- 2,058, p > 0.05), and time spent in MVPA (46 +/- 16 min vs. 50.8 +/- 14.7 min, p > 0.05). Conclusions: An unsafe environment is the main barrier to physical activity for Brazilian children. Moreover, a lack of parental encouragement and having asthma were considered to be barriers to physical activity. And lastly, children have similar levels of physical activity whether they have asthma or do not have asthma.

- Daily physical activity in asthmatic children with distinct severities(2014) SOUSA, Andrey Wirgues; CABRAL, Anna Lucia Barros; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; CARVALHO, Celso R. F.Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate daily physical activity (DPA) in asthmatic children with different levels of disease severity, but with good asthma control, relative to a control group. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which a total of 121 children between the ages of 7 and 12 years old were evaluated; 72 were asthmatic children (32 mild, 24 moderate and 23 severe), and 42 children were not asthmatics. The asthmatic children studied had been in medical treatment for at least 6 months and experienced no change in symptoms during the 4 weeks prior to the study. The DPA was monitored over 6 days (4 weekdays and 2 weekend days). Motor activity was recorded with an accelerometer that measured the total number of steps (TNS), the number of steps in moderate physical activity (NS-MPA) and the duration, in minutes, of physical activity performed at moderate intensity. Results: There were no differences among the TNS performed by children with mild, moderate or severe persistent asthma and the control group (14 410 +/- 4379, 14 710 +/- 4892, 13 838 +/- 3341 and 12 968 +/- 3682 steps, respectively). The NS-MPA was also similar among all of the groups (6589 +/- 2065, 6605 +/- 2324, 6223 +/- 1689 and 5990 +/- 1840 steps, respectively). Sedentary asthmatic children were overweight more often than asthmatic children who were physically active, although lung function was not different between these groups. Conclusion: Children with good asthma control, independent of disease severity, had DPA levels similar to children without asthma. However, more asthmatic children were overweight if sedentary as compared to physically active asthmatic children.
- Physical fitness and quality of life in adolescents with asthma and fixed airflow obstruction(2021) SOUSA, Andrey Wirgues; CABRAL, Anna Lucia Barros; SILVA, Ronaldo Aparecido; FONSECA, Alfredo Jose; GRINDLER, Jose; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; CARVALHO, Celso R. F.Asthma is a disease characterized by reversible bronchoconstriction, but some subjects develop fixed airflow obstruction (FAO). Subjects with FAO present more asthma symptoms and may have increased sedentary behavior; however, the effect of FAO on aerobic fitness and physical activity levels (PAL) remains poorly understood. Aim To compare adolescents with asthma and FAO and adolescents with asthma without FAO in terms of aerobic fitness, PAL, muscle strength, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods This cross-sectional study included adolescents with asthma, both sexes, and aged 12-18 years. They were divided into two groups: FAO and non-FAO groups. The adolescents were diagnosed with asthma according to the Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines and underwent optimal pharmacological treatment for at least 12 months. FAO was diagnosed when the forced expiratory volume in the first second/forced vital capacity ratio was below the lower limit of the normal range after optimal treatment. Aerobic fitness, PAL, peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, and HRQoL were evaluated. Results No significant differences were observed between FAO and non-FAO groups regarding the peak oxygen uptake (34.6 +/- 8.5 vs. 36.0 +/- 8.4 mLO(2)/min/kg), sedentary time (578 +/- 126 vs. 563 +/- 90 min/day), upper limb muscle strength (29.1 +/- 5.9 vs. 28.1 +/- 5.7 kilograms of force [kgf]), lower limb muscle strength (42.8 +/- 8.6 vs. 47.6 +/- 9.6 kgf), or HRQoL (5.1 +/- 1.3 vs. 4.7 +/- 1.4 score; p > .05). However, the FAO group exhibited a higher maximal expiratory pressure than the non-FAO group (111.5 +/- 15.5 vs. 101.5 +/- 15.0 cmH(2)O, respectively). Conclusion Our results suggest that FAO does not impair aerobic fitness, PAL, peripheral muscle strength, or HRQoL in adolescents with asthma. Furthermore, adolescents with asthma were physically deconditioned.
