“…Some studies compared the physical activity levels between children and adolescents with CA and healthy subjects and concluded that, although most parents of children with asthma have reported a decrease in the performance of physical activities, the results showed that the level of physical activity was similar between the two groups and that there was no difference between children with and without asthma. 22,23 These studies show the gap between parents' and children's opinions of physical activity; therefore, we emphasize the importance of assessing physical activity level with answers obtained from the children, which is why we performed this study by questioning children and adolescents.…”

Background: In children and adolescents with asthma, the disease may reduce the perceived capability to participate in physical activity (PA) contributing to an increase in the sedentary lifestyle. The literature is unclear as to whether children and adolescents with asthma differ their PA levels from their healthy peers.Objective: Our objective was to describe the different methods and instruments used to measure PA and to compare the PA levels of children and adolescents with asthma with those of their healthy peers.Study Design: We conducted a systematic review of five databases. We included studies that compared the PA measured by objective and subjective instruments in children and adolescents with asthma versus controls. Two independent reviewers analyzed the studies, extracted the data, and assessed the quality of evidence.Results: Of the 5966 reports returned by the initial search, 28 articles reporting on 3184 patients were included in the data synthesis. A forest plot showed that both groups had similar values of moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA; mean difference, −0.05 h/day; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.11-0.01; p = .13), sedentary time (mean difference 0.00 h/day; 95% CI, −0.22-0.23 h/day; p = .99) and steps/day (mean difference 354 steps/day; 95% CI, −563-1270 steps/day; p = .45). Conclusion:Children and adolescents with asthma have similar MVPA, steps/day, and sedentary time compared to the controls. The main instruments used were questionnaires and accelerometers.

“…Desde hace varios años se ha documentado que la actividad física y el deporte pueden tener repercusiones positivas en el estado de salud en general o un impacto importante en la calidad de vida de personas con enfermedades crónicas como depresión, artritis, asma, hipertensión o diabetes (21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Ha habido al respecto precaución y temor de recomendar actividad física en las personas con epilepsia, probablemente por la suposición de que dicha actividad pudiera desencadenar crisis epilépticas y que la aparición de las mismas pueda generar lesiones físicas.…”

RESUMENLas personas con epilepsia tienden a ser más sedentarias que la población general. Las causas para ello son ignorancia, prejuicio, sobreprotección, temor o vergüenza. No existe sustentación científica que oriente a una limitación del ejercicio en dichas personas. Los estudios indican que son enormes los beneficios del deporte en los individuos afectados de epilepsia. Los aspectos positivos del ejercicio son acondicionamiento físico, protección para la aparición de crisis, alivio emocional, mejores destrezas sociales, mayor adherencia al tratamiento farmacológico, prevención de la osteoporosis y mejora en la calidad de vida de los pacientes y sus familias. De manera sensata y acorde con las particularidades de cada paciente, se debe prescribir u orientar el tipo de actividad física que se va a realizar. La evidencia disponible sitúa a la actividad física y el deporte en la categoría de terapia complementaria para las personas con epilepsia, que a un bajo costo, logra grandes beneficios. El llamado es a promover estas herramientas como una indicación habitual en los pacientes con epilepsia. PALABRAS CLAVEActividad Física; Deporte; Epilepsia; Medicina Complementaria SUMMARY Epilepsy, physical activity and sportsPeople with epilepsy are prone to be sedentary compared with the general population. The causes of inactivity are ignorance, prejudice, overprotection, fear and shame. There is no scientific evidence supporting a limitation of physical exercise in persons with epilepsy. The benefits of exercise in these patients are huge. Positive aspects are: physical conditioning, prevention of seizures, emotional wellbeing, social interaction, drug treatment adherence, osteoporosis prevention and better quality of life for patients and their families. Having in mind the individual characteristics, physical exercise should be prescribed and guided. Available evidence underlies the complementary therapeutic effects of physical activity with

Comparison between exercise performance in asthmatic children and healthy controls – Physical Activity Questionnaire application

Abstract: Despite the fact that a majority of the parents of allergic children stated that their child's disease was a barrier to physical activity, in our study there seems to be no difference between the level of physical activity of controlled asthmatic children and their healthy peers.
