Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the review is to synthesize existing knowledge about experiences of children and adolescents with asthma related to participation in, or limitation of, physical activity.

INTRODUCTION: Limitations of physical activity, expressed as a barrier of bodily movement, may relate to physiological restraints, as well as emotional and social delimitation, in children and adolescents with asthma. Participation in physical activity is related to management of asthma and is important for social inclusion. Through childhood and adolescence, physical activity enhances physical, cognitive, and social development, and a dose-response relationship between physical activity and several indicators of improved health has been established. Knowledge is needed about experiences of physical activity in children and adolescents with asthma to tailor care and implement exercise and physical activity supporting interventions into clinical practice.

INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will consider qualitative studies that include subjective experiences related to participation in, or limitation of, physical activity in children and adolescents (six to 18 years of age) with asthma. All contexts and countries will be included.

METHODS: MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, SocINDEX, and Social Science Citation Index List will be searched for relevant studies. Studies published in English with no date limitation will be included. Study selection, assessment of methodological quality, data extraction, synthesis, and assessment of confidence in the findings will be conducted using the JBI meta-aggregation approach.
