Abstract:
Thirteen asthmatic children were enrolled in a swimming program during five days. Pulmonary function test before and after swimming training was evaluated. Training did not change pulmonary function values, and asthmatic children improved swimming distance and enhanced swimming ability. No side effects were observed during study. After asthma can questionnaires indicated a high degree of enthusiasm and acceptance of the program by children and parents.
