Effects of Training
The intervention period was extended for 5 subjects in
the exercise group because of asthma exacerbation (n =
2), problems attending classes due to work commitments
(n = 2) and foot infection (n = 1), and in 2 subjects in the
control group because of an asthma exacerbation. No severe
episodes of wheezing or chest tightness requiring
medical intervention occurred in any of the subjects during
the supervised training sessions.
