New study: exercise classes may help kids control asthma
NCT ID NCT07643753
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding exercise sessions and asthma education to usual care helps children aged 10-17 manage their asthma better. 60 participants will be randomly placed into one of three groups: usual care only, education only, or exercise plus education. The goal is to see if the program is practical and improves asthma control.
