Breathing and activity coaching for kids with obesity and mild asthma
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests an “inspiratory pulmonary rehabilitation” program—guided breathing and exercise training—for children who have obesity and mild asthma. It may help improve breathing control and exercise ability by teaching safe, structured breathing and activity habits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a child age 8–17 with obesity (BMI at or above the 95th percentile) and mild asthma
- A parent/guardian will need to give consent, and your child will need to agree (assent) if appropriate

This study looks at how an asthma-specific breathing training program affects children’s breathing and asthma control. It may help your care team understand who could benefit from inspiratory (breathing-in) training.
This trial tests a structured exercise programme designed to help children and young people with asthma improve their fitness and manage their condition better. Participation involves joining exercise sessions and providing feedback through focus groups.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help children with asthma feel better and improve their breathing. It focuses on children whose asthma is well-controlled and who are not currently having flare-ups.
This trial tests a program that teaches families to manage asthma at home, using a smartphone app and exercises, to see if it helps children breathe better and control their asthma.
This study tests a 12-week program that combines breathing muscle training with short bursts of high-intensity exercise to help boys with obesity improve fitness and breathing strength. The goal is to see if this type of training is safe and helpful for boys in this age group.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program, done with remote support, is safe and helpful for children with pulmonary hypertension. It aims to improve how well kids function day-to-day while they stay on their usual PH medications.
