Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
BACKGROUND: One of the chronic inflammatory diseases is asthma, which manifests symptoms like breathlessness, coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness also, commonly at night or in the early morning. Papworth method is easy and safe intervention for asthma control as it is also an adjuvant to medical care. Papworth method reduces these asthma symptoms, improves dysfunctional breathing arising from hypocapnia, and will help in improving quality of life and exercise tolerance.
HYPOTHESESThere is no significant effect of papworth technique and aerobic training on haemoglobin in anaemic asthmatic pediatrics there is no significant effect of papworth technique and aerobic training on exercise tolerance in anaemic asthmatic pediatricsas regards to:
1. Haemoglobin level
2. Asthma-related Quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ)
3. Six-minute walk test.
4. Oxygen saturation
5. Respiratory rate RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there is an effect of papworth technique and aerobic training on haemoglobin and exercise tolerance in anaemic asthmatic pediatrics?
Patients will be assessed before, after the treatment program. The assessment procedures include the following items:
1. Haemoglobin level
2. asthma-related Quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ)
3. Six-minute walk test.
4. Oxygen saturation
5. Respiratory rate
Treatment procedure:
Group (A): will receive papworth technique and aerobic training programme in addition to medical treatment 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks.
Group (B): will receive aerobic training programme only in addition to medical treatment3 sessions per week for 12 weeks.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Study group
will receive papworth technique and aerobic training programme in addition to medical treatment 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks.
papworth technique
For Group A: The Papworth breathing technique consists of a series of diaphragmatic breathing and relaxation exercises, and teaches patients which muscles to use when breathing and how to avoid breathing too or too fast by emphasizing nose breathing. The technique is altered to suit activity; this allows the technique to be integrated by patients into their everyday lives with subsequent improvements in quality of life.
aerobic training
Aerobic training exercises are any activities that raise heart rate and make breathing somewhat harder. The activity you are doing must be constant and continuous. Examples of aerobic activities are
Walking or hiking Jogging or running Biking Swimming Rowing In-line skating Cross-country skiing Exercising on a stair-climber or elliptical machine
Control group
aerobic training programme only in addition to medical treatment3 sessions per week for 12 weeks
