Abstract
Purpose: Exercise-induced Asthma (EIA) occurs when vigorous exercise induces bronchoconstriction. Pre-exercise warm-up routines are frequently used to elicit a refractory period and thus reduce or prevent EIA. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effect of static warmup and dynamic warmup exercise training program on pre and post PEFR values after the completion of the test procedure on exercise induced asthma. Method: A comprehensive literature search was performed. Warmup exercises were classified into static and dynamic exercises. The EIA response was measured with the help of PEFR values after the warmup exercises and p-value and standard deviation (SD) was reported. Result: Six samples met the inclusion criteria. The result showed that Dynamic warmup (p-value=0.0288, SD=5.29) attenuated the EIA after comparing pre and post PEFR values. However, Static warmup (p-value=0.4226, SD=29.57) failed to result statistically significant in reduction in EIA. Conclusions: The most consistent and effective attenuation of EIA was observed post PEFR comparison with Dynamic warmup. These findings indicate that an appropriate warm-up strategy that includes dynamic warmup exercise may be a short-term nonpharmacological strategy to reducing EIA.
