“…Figure 1 presents all the articles that were selected for this systematic review. Of the 37 articles reviewed focused on clarifying the relationship between fitness parameters and exercise self-efficacy, 32 articles were focused on populations with some type of pathology [ 6 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 ].

“…In relation to the measurement of the instruments used, different tests have been found for the evaluation of physical fitness, of which some are general and others, specific. On 24 occasions, the test used was “The 6-Min Walk Test” (6MWT) that assesses aerobic endurance Self-perceived physical fitness was assessed on 14 occasions [ 6 , 34 , 37 , 39 , 40 , 43 , 47 , 53 , 56 , 58 , 59 , 61 , 65 , 66 ]. “The Foot Up and Go” test was used on six occasions [ 34 , 42 , 48 , 54 , 55 , 62 ]; “The Sit to Stand Test” [ 34 , 39 , 46 , 57 , 61 , 62 ]; “The Handgrip forced test” was used to evaluate the strength of the upper and lower body, agility in the face of possible falls, flexibility of the upper and lower body, and dynamic balance [ 39 , 42 , 46 , 57 , 61 , 63 ].…”

Background: The aim of the present work is the elaboration of a systematic review of existing research on physical fitness, self-efficacy for physical exercise, and quality of life in adulthood. Method: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement guidelines, and based on the findings in 493 articles, the final sample was composed of 37 articles, which were reviewed to show whether self-efficacy has previously been studied as a mediator in the relationship between physical fitness and quality of life in adulthood. Results: The results indicate that little research exists in relation to healthy, populations with the majority being people with pathology. Physical fitness should be considered as a fundamental aspect in determining the functional capacity of the person. Aerobic capacity was the most evaluated and the 6-min walk test was the most used. Only one article shows the joint relationship between the three variables. Conclusions: We discuss the need to investigate the mediation of self-efficacy in relation to the value of physical activity on quality of life and well-being in the healthy adult population in adult life.

“…These include the interference with daily activities, the frequent attacks of breathlessness, the interruption of sleep with night symptoms, the frequent use of bronchodilators, and the poor compliance with medical treatment. It is worth noting that severe asthma alone might not affect the daily life physical activity of the asthmatic patients, a finding that might consolidate the adverse effects of the psychological factors [ 12 ]. On the other hand, the presence of night symptoms that indicate a poor quality of sleep might be due to depression itself rather than poor asthma control [ 13 ].…”

Indicators of Asthma Control in Asthmatic Patients: Are they related to Depression?

BACKGROUND:Many patients with chronic illnesses suffer from depression. A poorly controlled asthma that presents with repeated attacks of breathlessness is a recognised risk factor for bipolar disorders. On the other hand, depression can aggravate asthma symptoms.AIM:The aim of this study is to determine the indicators of the asthma control test (ACT) among the asthmatic patients who attend the outpatient clinic for follow-up and to investigate the relation between these indicators and clinical depression, using a standardised depression scale.METHODS:A total of 38 adult asthmatic patients (29 women, age 17–85 years), with variable levels of control, were assessed using the ACT and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Data obtained were analysed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) version 20. The association of depression with the various indicators of asthma control was analysed with the Chi-Square test. Statistical significance was determined at p< 0.05.RESULTS:The uncontrolled asthma is associated with depression in 37% of all participants compared to 0% in the well-controlled group (p = 0.002). Depression is significantly related to asthma interference with daily activities (p = 0.003), breathlessness (p < 0.001), night symptoms (p = 0.036), use of bronchodilators (p = 0.007), and poor compliance with medical treatment (p = 0.003). The poor educational attainment and comorbidities have significant relations to both uncontrolled asthma and clinical depression (p < 0.05).CONCLUSION:All indicators of the poor asthma control are associated with clinical depression. A significant proportion of the uncontrolled asthma patients suffers from depression. The possibility of improving asthma control with a pharmacological treatment of depression has to be considered.

Key Considerations When Addressing Physical Inactivity and Sedentary Behaviour in People with Asthma

People with asthma tend to be less physically active and more sedentary than people without asthma. This narrative review aimed to present key considerations when addressing physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour in people with asthma by identifying barriers and facilitators, determinants and correlates, and intervention approaches. Using a search strategy, electronic databases were searched for relevant studies. Data extracted from studies were qualitatively synthesised. A total of 26 studies were included in the review. Six studies reported asthma symptoms as a barrier to physical activity, while four studies reported having a supportive network as a physical activity facilitator. Across studies, physical activity correlates/determinants were pulmonary function, exercise capacity, body mass index, dyspnoea, psychological health, and asthma control. Interventions that effectively improved physical activity in the short term were a step-based prescription programme, a weight loss programme incorporating aerobic and resistance training, and a weight loss lifestyle intervention, while a high-intensity interval training pulmonary rehabilitation program was effective in the long term. The collective findings suggest that a personalised physical activity programme incorporating different strategies is needed. There was minimal evidence to provide recommendations to optimise sedentary behaviour in asthma, and more research is needed on the topic.

Objectively measured daily-life physical activity of moderate-to-severe Brazilian asthmatic women in comparison to healthy controls: A cross-sectional study

Abstract: Despite the association between self-perceived activity limitation and DLPA among asthmatics, there were no differences regarding DLPA between a sample of moderate-to-severe Brazilian asthmatic women and apparently healthy controls.
