Resting lung function was not significantly different
in either group at the post-intervention assessment compared
to baseline values. There were no changes in body
mass index in either group at the post-intervention or at
the 3-month follow-up assessments. Asthma control was
unchanged in either group when measured immediately
following the intervention period or at the 3-month follow-
up ( table 2 ). There was no relationship between body
mass index and asthma control in either group at the
baseline assessment or at the post-intervention or followup
assessments. Peripheral muscle strength was unchanged
in both groups immediately following the intervention
period and at the 3-month follow-up ( table 3 ).
