“…The intensity of physical activity has also been found to be lower in current asthma patients than with those with life-time asthma [54]. As it is observed in general population, asthmatics do not reach minimum recommended physical activity criteria [66,69]. Finally, it should be noted that the quality of life as perceived by patients can be a cause or a consequence of the activity limitation [70].…”

Limitation of activity is the most cited symptom described by uncontrolled asthma patients. Assessment of activity limitation can be undertaken through several ways, more or less complex, subjective or objective. Yet little is known about the link between patients sensations and objective measurements. The present review reports the current knowledge regarding activity limitation and symptom perception (i.e., exertional dyspnea) in adult patients with asthma. This work is based on references indexed by PubMed, irrespective of the year of publication. Overall, patients with stable asthma do not have a more sedentary lifestyle than healthy subjects. However, during a cycle ergometric test, the maximal load is reduced when FEV1, FVC and muscle strengths are decreased. Additionally, during the six-minute walking test, mild asthma patients walk less than healthy subjects even if the minimal clinically important difference is not reached. The major complaint of asthma patients when exercising is dyspnea that is mainly related to the inspiratory effort and also to dynamic hyperinflation in some circumstances. Finally, the administration of bronchodilator does not improve the ventilatory pattern and the exercise capacity of asthma patients and little is known on its effect on exertional dyspnea. The present review allows to conclude that until now there is no gold standard test allowing the objective assessment of "activity limitation and exertional dyspnea" in asthma patients.

“…Despite the documented benefits of physical activity, adults with asthma still may not be adequately active. Previous research has reported mixed findings, with some research indicating that adults with asthma are less physically active than their age-matched non-asthmatic peers [16][17][18][19], while others have reported no differences between physical activity levels in individuals with and without asthma [20]. Some research has shown that individuals with asthma may have higher physical activity levels than those without asthma [21][22][23][24].…”

Physical Activity Participation among Adult Nevadans with Self-Reported Asthma

Abstract: A majority of adults with self-reported asthma living in Nevada are physically inactive. It appears that physical inactivity is associated with an increased prevalence of asthma.
