NCT03911206

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a 6-week Inspiratory Muscle Training and cardiovascular exercise training program in children and adolescents with asthma. To also determine the efficacy of inspiratory muscle training and exercise in increasing respiratory muscle strength and endurance, and to explore relationships between fitness interventions (inspiratory muscle training and exercise), exercise tolerance, airway closure and dyspnea scores.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Percentage of Participant's with asthma and not participating in any physical activity

    6 weeks

  • Number of Adverse events reported by participants.

    6 weeks

  • Number of participants that complete respiratory muscle training (IMT) and exercise.

    6 weeks

Study Arms (4)

Arm 1 : Inspirtory muscle training (IMT)

EXPERIMENTAL

IMT exercises at home will gradually ramp up.

Behavioral: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT)

Arm 2: Exercise alone

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will be asked to exercise 2x/week for 6 weeks in person at the Duke research facility and again 2x/week at home for 30 minutes.

Behavioral: Exercise alone

Arm 3: IMT and Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

a combination of arm 1 and arm 3

Behavioral: IMT and Exercise

Arm 4: Routine care

NO INTERVENTION

no interventions will occur in this group besides testing procedures and offering access to the study team in case asthma-related questions come up.
