Swimming training for asthma in children and adolescents aged 18 years and under

This review provides the reader with the up‐to‐date evidence‐based basis for prescribing exercise as medicine in the treatment of 26 different diseases: psychiatric diseases (depression, anxiety, stress, schizophrenia); neurological diseases (dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis); metabolic diseases (obesity, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes); cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, cerebral apoplexy, and claudication intermittent); pulmonary diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis); musculo‐skeletal disorders (osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, back pain, rheumatoid arthritis); and cancer. The effect of exercise therapy on disease pathogenesis and symptoms are given and the possible mechanisms of action are discussed. We have interpreted the scientific literature and for each disease, we provide the reader with our best advice regarding the optimal type and dose for prescription of exercise.

“…Based on the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines, children with asthma should participate in physical exercises like normal children, which is considered to be an important part of the nondrug prevention and treatment strategy for children with asthma. Therefore, exercise has also been used in the rehabilitation of lung function, exercise ability, and quality of life in children with bronchial asthma, but the prevention and treatment effects are different [ 7 – 12 ]. Andrade et al [ 11 ] conducted a 6-week randomized controlled trial (RCT) on 33 children with moderate asthma.…”

“…However, exercise was once regarded as the inducing factor of asthma, particularly in patients with exercise-induced asthma, and children would reduce or give up exercise because of repeated attacks. Meta-analysis shows that swimming for 6–12 weeks is significantly better than routine treatment in improving pulmonary function indexes such as FEV1% pred and FEF25–75% pred in children with bronchial asthma, but no significant difference was observed in FVC% pred, FEF50% pred, and other indexes [ 12 ]. A previous systematic review on 11 studies by Zhang et al [ 13 ] found physical training improved FVC (% pred) significantly in children with asthma.…”

Objective. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effect of exercise on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in children with bronchial asthma. Methods. A comprehensive search was performed using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EBSCO, CNKI, and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service platform to identify any relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from inception to April 2021. The Cochrane risk of the bias tool was utilized to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies, and RevMan 5.3 was applied to perform data analyses. Results. A total of 22 RCTs involving 1346 patients were included. The results of the meta-analysis showed that exercise had significant advantages in improving lung function and exercising capacity and quality of life in children with asthma compared with conventional treatment, such as the forced vital capacity to predicted value ratio (SMD = 0.27; 95% CI: 0.13, 0.40, and P < 0.0001 ), the peak expiratory flow to predicted value ratio (MD = 4.53; 95% CI: 1.27, 7.80, and P = 0.007 ), the 6-minute walk test (MD = 110.65; 95% CI: 31.95, 189.34, and P = 0.006 ), rating of perceived effort (MD = −2.28; 95% CI: −3.21, −1.36, and P < 0.0001 ), and peak power (MD = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.37, 1.52, and P = 0.001 ) on exercise capacity and pediatric asthma quality of life questionnaire (MD = 1.28; 95% CI: 0.60, 1.95, and P = 0.0002 ) on quality of life. However, no significant difference was observed in the forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of vital capacity P = 0.25 and the forced expiratory volume at 1 second to predicted value ratio P = 0.07 . Conclusions. Current evidence shows that exercise has a certain effect on improving pulmonary function recovery, exercise capacity, and quality of life in children with bronchial asthma. Given the limitation of the number and quality of included studies, further research and verification are needed to guide clinical application.

Voda kao terapijsko sredstvo ima vrlo široku primjenu, a njeno terapijsko djelovanje zasniva se na fizičkim karakteristikama, termičkim i mehaničkim efektima. Hladna voda povećava nadražljivost skeletnih mišića i sprečava njihovo brzo zamaranje. Nakon kratkih procedura hladnom vodom, podiže se opšti tonus, postiže se osjećaj svježine, čilosti i snage.Za oblast korektivne gimnastike, mehaničko djelovanje vode ima poseban značaj, prije svega zbog hidrotermičkog djelovanja u vidu sile potiska i otpora vode. Plivanje spada u prirodne oblike kretanja sa veoma izražen-im pozitivnim uticajem na organizam, pogotovu na organizam u razvoju. Plivanjem se mogu ostvarivati značajni preventivno korektivni i terapeutski uticaji. Povećana mehanika grudnog koša u cjelini, prilikom plivanja, može se koristiti u preventivno-korektivne svrhe kod deformiteta grudnog koša.Zbog prividnog gubitka tjelesne težine u vodi uz istovremenu mogućnost opuštanja ili savladavanja različitih otpora kao i povoljnog uticaja te sredine, plivanje pruža neograničene mogućnosti za popravljanje narušenog zdravlja. Naročiti efekti se postižu kod osoba sa oslabljenim mišićnim tonusom, kako u periodu rekonvalescencije nakon određenih oboljenja, tako i kod stanja kod kojih je oslabljenja funkcija mišića (pareza i paraliza). U zavisnosti od tehnike plivanja dolazi do većeg angažovanja određene muskulature. Plivanjem se poboljšava i funkcija pluća, povećanjem aktivnosti interkostalne muskulature. Takođe se značajno angažuju i ostali vitalni sistemi, a posebno kardio-vaskularni sistem.Ključne riječi: terapijsko plivanje, hidroterapija, primjena UvodIzreka iz doba stare Grčke: ,,Ako ne znaš da čitaš, sviraš i plivaš, a šta onda znaš" govori da su još stari narodi vodi poklanjali veliku pažnju i koristili je u cilju jačanja organizma [1]. Održavanje tijela na vodi u stanju mirovanja naziva se plutanje. Da li će neko tijelo da se održi na površini vode ili da potone u njoj zavisi od njegove specifične težine. Materija koja ima specifičnu težinu manju od 1, odnosno čiji je kubni centimetar lakši od kubnog centimetra destilovane
