“…Following this meta-analysis, two additional studies have been published 1415 The first did not find that PA was associated with wheezing or shortness of breath in children 14. The second, which followed 1369 children to adulthood, found a possible beneficial effect of PA on the development of respiratory symptoms (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95 to 0.99) 15…”

ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the associations of physical activity and change in physical activity with incident asthma in a cohort of Norwegian adults.DesignWe conducted a prospective cohort study using data on self-reported physical activity from 3 waves of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study. Physical activity was reported at the first and second surveys (1985–1986 and 1995–1997). Physical activity was defined from the second survey as inactive or active and the active group was further defined as very low, low, moderate and high. Change in physical activity was defined from the first and second surveys.SettingA large population-based health survey in Norway.ParticipantsWe followed 18 894 adults over 11 years who were free from asthma at baseline in 1995–1997.OutcomeIncident asthma was reported in the third survey (2006–2008).ResultsThe cumulative incidence of asthma was 3.6% over the 11 years. The adjusted OR for incident asthma among active participants compared with inactive participants was 0.95 (95% CI 0.69 to 1.34). The adjusted OR for those who were active in the first or second survey versus those who were inactive in both surveys was 0.64 (95% CI 0.34 to 1.38); however, this association was strongly attenuated in sensitivity analysis (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.38 to 3.09).ConclusionsWe did not observe statistically significant associations of physical activity or change in physical activity with incident asthma in adults over the 11-year follow-up.

“…Using the ROBINS‐E tool, included studies were found to contain low‐to‐moderate levels of overall bias. Additionally, studies scored five, six, seven or eight out of nine points on the NOS, indicating moderate‐to‐high quality; hence, all studies were included in this review. Individual quality assessment scores are presented in Table .…”

All of these studies were conducted in high‐income countries, namely Norway, the Netherlands, Germany, USA and Canada . All studies adjusted for one or more potential covariates; importantly, five of the six studies adjusted for sex and three adjusted for body mass index (BMI) .…”

Background Physical activity may be a potentially modifiable risk factor for asthma and driver of lung function development. This systematic review aimed to summarize the available evidence concerning the longitudinal effect of physical activity on the development of asthma, the persistence of asthma symptoms and lung function outcomes in children and adolescents. Methods PubMed and Embase electronic databases were searched for all original articles that investigated the longitudinal association between physical activity and asthma outcomes or lung function outcomes in children and adolescents. The search and data extraction were conducted by two independent researchers. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using two critical assessment tools. Results The literature search retrieved 2298 publications from the electronic databases. All articles were screened, and 2289 were subsequently excluded, resulting in nine longitudinal studies eligible for inclusion in this review. Two studies found no association with incident wheeze, and two of four found no association with various asthma outcomes. Three studies investigated the effect on lung function: one observed an association in boys only, one observed an association in girls only, and one found no associations. Conclusion The evidence was highly inconsistent for the relationship between physical activity and asthma and lung function outcomes. Hence, we conclude that there is insufficient evidence to suggest that physical activity has a long‐term effect on the risk of asthma development in youth. Furthermore, there is insufficient evidence to determine the longitudinal effects of physical activity on lung function in children.

Unlike boys, girls with active asthma appear to be less active than their healthy peers, and this gender difference might explain the inconsistent evidence from previous reports on physical activity levels in asthmatic children. Further studies are needed to confirm the gender interaction in the childhood asthma-physical activity relation and the implications on current guidelines for physical exercise prescriptions in asthmatic children.
