Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate exercise capacity and activity role adequacy in patients with adult bronchial asthma.

Detailed Description

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by increased airway sensitivity to various stimuli and reversible airway obstruction. Asthma is a disease with high morbidity and mortality despite all advances in pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment in the world. It is estimated that there are approximately 300 million asthmatic patients in the world. In our country, approximately one out of every 12-13 adults and one in 7-8 children have asthma. Clinical symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing. Increased symptoms in asthmatic patients lead to impaired respiratory function. In chronic respiratory problems, participants restrict their activity to avoid shortness of breath. As a result, physical fitness levels are reduced, shortness of breath occurs at earlier workloads, and participants do less activity. In chronic disorders, managing the disease alone may not be enough to optimize normal functioning in daily life. In literature, it is seen that daily life activities, quality of life, school performance and work performance are affected in asthmatic patients. it is thought to be useful in determining the course of treatment to be given to the patient in the course of the disease.
