This study aimed to evaluate if high-intensity interval training could improve asthma control in overweight, postmenopausal women with uncontrolled, late-onset asthma. The results showed that high-intensity interval training significantly reduced body fat percentage and had a positive impact on asthma control.
Objective To evaluate if high-intensity interval training three times weekly for 12 weeks improves asthma control in overweight, postmenopausal women with uncontrolled, late-onset asthma.Methods The reported study is a randomized clinical pilot study (www.clinicaltrials.gov; NCT03747211) that compared 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (spinning) with usual care. The five-question Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-5) was used as primary outcome. Secondary measures included systemic inflammation and inflammation of the airways, body composition, and cardiac function during exercise.Results We included 12 women with asthma (mean age 65 years (SD 6); mean body mass index 30 kg/m2 (SD 2)) from whom eight were randomized to exercise and four to control. Baseline ACQ-5 was 1.95 (SD 0.53) in the control group and 2.03 (0.54) in the exercise group. Patients had a mean blood eosinophil level of 0.16 x 109cells/L (SD 0.07) and a mean fraction of exhaled nitric oxide of 23 ppb (SD 25). Mixed models showed that participants in the exercise group reduced their ACQ-5 by 0.55 points (95%CI -1.10 to -0.00; P = 0.08) compared with the control group. The exercise group significantly reduced their mean body fat percentage (-2.7%; 95%CI -4.5 to -0.8; P = 0.02), fat mass (-2.8 kg; 95%CI -5.1 to -0.4; P = 0.044) and android fat mass (-0.33 kg; 95%CI -0.60- -0.06; P = 0.038). In analyses of cardiac measures, we saw no significant effects on right ventricular function (fractional area change), diastolic function or left ventricular function.Conclusions Although changes in ACQ-5 were slightly insignificant, these preliminary findings indicate that aerobic exercise training can be used as a means to improve asthma control in overweight, postmenopausal women with asthma.
