Assessment of Exercise Capacity in Patients Diagnosed with Moderate and Severe Bronchial Asthma: Preliminary Prospective Observational Study
This study demonstrated that asthma severity significantly impacts exercise capacity, as shown by shorter distances covered in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) among patients with severe asthma. While overall physical activity levels (measured by the IPAQ) were not significantly different between asthma and non-asthma groups, asthma patients exhibited significantly more sitting time, suggesting a more sedentary lifestyle.
