the effect of exercise training on lncrna expression in asthma

Conditions: Rehabilitation; Pulmonary Rehabilitation; Long Noncoding RNA; Exercise; Asthma

Summary: the goal of this observational study is to examine the effects of traditional respiratory rehabilitation and respiratory muscle strengthening training added to this program at the genetic level in asthma. the main questions it aims to answer are: * does respiratory muscle strengthening exercise added to respiratory rehabilitation in asthmatic patients have additional benefits on rehabilitation outcome measures such as exercise capacity, shortness of breath, and muscle strength? * does the gain obtained with respiratory muscle strengthening in asthmatic patients increase the quality of life of patients and have a positive effect on their psychological state? * does respiratory rehabilitation applied to asthmatic patients have an effect on genetic changes? * does respiratory muscle strengthening training applied in addition to respiratory rehabilitation in asthmatic patients have an effect on genetic changes? * participants will be included in two different respiratory rehabilitation programs with and without respiratory muscle training, and pre- and post-treatment rehabilitation criteria and genetic changes will be compared.

asthma is the most common chronic respiratory disease worldwide, characterized by inflammation in the respiratory tract accompanied by bronchoconstriction, edema, and increased mucosa. oxidative stress causes smooth muscle contraction, proliferation, and hypersensitivity of the airways, while hypoxia and systemic inflammation weaken the respiratory muscles. lung hyperinflation in asthmatic patients causes an increase in the work of breathing. the increased workload on the respiratory muscles increases the respiratory frequency and causes dyspnea. pharmacological agents, allergen avoidance, lifestyle modification, anti-ige antibodies and selectively alternative/complementary drugs or non-pharmacological methods (including breathing exercises, pulmonary rehabilitation, yoga and inspiratory muscle training) are applied in the treatment of asthma. exercise training; it has been reported to improve asthma symptoms, quality of life, exercise capacity, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction and cardiopulmonary fitness and reduce airway inflammation and nighttime symptoms in asthmatic patients. in addition, asthma control can be increased with appropriate timing and intensity of exercise-based pr. the physiological effect of inspiratory muscle training is to weaken the metaboreflex mechanism, possibly reducing the activity of chemosensitive afferents and sympathetic nerve stimulation. inspiratory muscle training stimulates structural and biochemical adaptations within the inspiratory muscles. it is stated in the literature that physiotherapy approaches such as breathing exercises and respiratory muscle training provide clinical benefits by increasing inspiratory muscle strength and reducing symptoms and the need for bronchodilators. in recent years, the role of lncrnas has also been emphasized in studies conducted on asthma patients. lncrnas are long non-coding rnas and there are studies indicating that they play an important role in the regulation of asthma. however, there is no study in the literature examining the effect of exercise training on lncrna malat1 in asthmatic patients. asthma is the most common chronic respiratory disease worldwide, characterized by inflammation in the respiratory tract accompanied by bronchoconstriction, edema, and increased mucosa. oxidative stress causes smooth muscle contraction, proliferation, and hypersensitivity of the airways, while hypoxia and systemic inflammation weaken the respiratory muscles. lung hyperinflation in asthmatic patients causes an increase in the work of breathing. the increased workload on the respiratory muscles increases the respiratory frequency and causes dyspnea. pharmacological agents, allergen avoidance, lifestyle modification, anti-ige antibodies and selectively alternative/complementary drugs or non-pharmacological methods (including breathing exercises, pulmonary rehabilitation, yoga and inspiratory muscle training) are applied in the treatment of asthma. exercise training;
