Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Investigators want to study to see if patients who participate in a physical activity intervention involving increasing daily step counts will have better mini asthma quality of life questionnaire (Mini AQLQ) scores at the end of the study period compared to patients that are in the control group and do not increase daily step counts. Participants will be randomized into the two groups.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Control group (usual care group) of 75 patients will not participate in the intervention but will take an asthma control survey at baseline (point of enrollment into the study) and about 4-6 weeks after.

Physical Activity

Intervention Type OTHER

Intervention group participants will be enrolled in a standardized step-based program to gradually increase their physical activity. Daily steps will be measured via a pedometer application on a smartphone or wearable device, with a gradual increase in the goal on a weekly basis, with a target intervention of around 4-6 weeks in total. The first week's step count will be used to calculate a baseline step count for the week. At the start of each week, the participants will be asked to increase their daily step counts by 1,000.
