Purpose: the researchers see that this project is significant for asthma patients to help them improve. Therefore, this study hypothesizes that lower torso muscle endurance may affect 6MWT in asthma patients. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effect of decreased thoracic muscular endurance on asthma patients' 6-minute walk test (6MWT).
Material & Methods: this study included two groups (experimental and control), and they used a quantitative descriptive technique and achieved Pre – Post tests research design. The researcher began by administering a pre-test to the two groups. Researchers then carried out the therapy to experiment group, whereas the control group used the hospital protocol. Following the conclusion of the treatment, the researcher conducted a post-test for both groups. The program of the treatment's impact may be determined precisely by comparing the pre-and post-test findings. The trial lasted 24 meetings, with training occurring three times a week. On many occasions, twenty asthmatic patients from Imam Sadiq Hospital who had been hospitalized at a pulmonary rehabilitation center were assessed. Patients were included if they met the global effort for asthma recommendations for asthma diagnosis. The current study employed an experimental design. This study evaluated the maximal inspiratory pressure (PI, max), the pulmonary function test, the baseline dyspnea index (BDI), and the six-minute walk test (6MWT). Each exercise (leg extension and leg press) on gymnasium equipment was assigned a one-minute repetition. Additionally, the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was used to determine a person's quality of life. The researchers discovered that a training program had statistically significant favorable impacts on the 6MWT and body weight.
Conclusion: this study's findings demonstrated the critical role of lower torso training in achieving submaximal exercise tolerance. Additionally, they may pave the way for new avenues for training programs aimed at increasing functional activity in asthma patients.
