“…Earlier reports have shown that asthmatic children engage in lower levels of physical activity compared to their non-asthmatic peers. 37,38 This may, in turn, be explained by the perceived dangers of engaging in physical exercise by asthmatic children. 39 Since cognitively stimulating play has been reported to enhance children's intellectual development, 40 the higher cognitive status recorded among asthmatic children in our study may not be entirely surprising.…”

Background The presence of asthma in children may negatively impact their cognitive function, possibly due to intermittent hypoxia from repeated acute exacerbations, sleep deprivation, and school absenteeism. However, conflicting reports abound on cognitive performance among children with asthma. Objective To assess and compare the cognitive function of asthmatic and non-asthmatic children in Ilorin, Nigeria. Methods This cross-sectional study compared the cognitive performance scores of 66 children with asthma aged 6-17 years, and the corresponding scores of 66 healthy age- and gender-matched children without asthma. Data obtained included sociodemographic, anthropometric, and clinical details. Cognitive function was assessed with the Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) psychometric test. Results The male: female ratio was 1.3:1. The median RPM score of 50.0 [interquartile range (IQR) 25.0-75.0] in children with asthma was significantly higher than that of non-asthmatic children [32.5 (IQR 10.0-50.0)]; (P=0.016). A significantly higher proportion of asthmatic subjects (74.2%) were in the high grade RPM score category compared to the non-asthmatic children’s concomitant proportion (57.6%). Asthmatic subjects were twice as likely to belong to the high grade RPM score category than their non-asthmatic counterparts (OR=2.12; 95%CI 1.02 to 4.44; P=0.043). There was no significant association between RPM score grade and clinical severity of asthma in the subject population (P=0.554). Conclusion Children with asthma perform better in cognitive function assessment, using RPM test, compared to their non-asthmatic counterparts in Ilorin, Nigeria.

“…12 Meyer et al found in a study comprising 254 teachers in 46 schools of children of different ages that only 60% of asthmatic children attended physical education classes; 40% of asthmatic children were found to have limited participation-sometimes or no participation. 28 In a study conducted by Sawyer et al, 31% of asthmatic children did not participate in sports because of asthma, 21% did not ride a bicycle, 20% did not swim, and 18% stated that they did not participate in activities in the school's half-break time. 29 In our study, children in the asthmatic group were interested in the following proportion of sports: 3.3% badminton, 6.7% basketball, 13.3% football, 10% handball, 6.7% gymnastics, 3.3% running, 3.3% archery, and 3.3% taekwondo, while children in the healthy group were interested in the following proportion of sports: 3.3% swimming, 3.3% cycling, 43.3% football, 3.3% wrestling, 3.3% handball, 3.3% karate, 3.3% kickboxing, 3.3% running, 10% volleyball, and 6.7% tennis.…”

Introduction: Childhood asthma has become a serious public health problem. Obesity has been determined to be one of the risk factors of asthma.Aim: We aimed to determine the difference in body mass index (BMI) and sleep quality in pediatric asthmatic individuals compared to their peers.Method: Thirty children aged 8–17 years were followed up in the Pediatric Outpatient Clinic for asthma along with 30 healthy children. The BMI percentile values of the children were recorded. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess sleep quality.Results: Each group in our study had 10 girls and 20 boys. The mean age was found to be 11.76 ± 2.69 years in asthma group and 11.33 ± 2.29 years in the healthy group. The asthma group were found to be more obese than the healthy group (P = 0.033). There was a significant difference between groups interested in a sport (P = 0.028) and sleep quality (P = 0.007).Conclusion: It was observed that the asthma group had more obesity and poorer sleep quality than the healthy group. Further, it was determined that in the asthma group, the level of interest in any sport was less than that in the healthy group. We think that high obesity in the asthma group reduces the effect of corticosteroids, and the continuity of nighttime cough symptoms causes deterioration in sleep quality. We conclude that participation in sports activities should be encouraged to reduce the level of obesity in asthmatic children.

“…Furthermore, PE teachers have varied opinions on the modifications of PA levels for students with asthma, with some allowing students to rest for prolonged periods of time and others encouraging as much PA as possible. Previous data have shown that children with asthma are generally less active than their peers and are mostly sedentary in school [18,27,28]. It is, therefore, especially crucial to provide a standard protocol for PE teachers to ensure that students with asthma receive adequate amounts of exercise.…”

“…The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) has developed recommendations on the roles and responsibilities for PE teachers in asthma management, including PE teacher's ability to identify and enable full participation in PE by students with asthma [9]. Although there have been several studies that assessed classroom teachers' knowledge about the disease [10][11][12][13][14][15][16], very few studies have specifically investigated PE teachers' perspectives on their role in asthma management [17][18][19]. This study explores PE teachers' perspectives, attitudes, fundamental beliefs, and challenges faced with respect to asthma management in urban elementary schools.…”
