Comparison Between Continuous Versus Interval Exercise Training in Asthmatic Patients

The present study will compare the impact of IT and CT in patients with moderate or severe asthma, and investigate what is the most efficient and increases the physical capacity, and quality of life and reduces the inflammatory mediators. Sixty asthmatic adults will be randomly assigned into two groups: CT (Continuous training) or IT (Interval training). CT will have treatment 2x week, 40 min./session, 60-75% of maximum heart rate intensity and IT also 2x week, 40 min./session, 80-140% of the maximum load intensity, both performed in ergometer cycle by 24 weeks.
