High-intensity physical training in adults with asthma . A comparison between training on land and in water . The purpose of this study was to determine whether inactive asthmatic patients could perform high-intensity physical training equally well on land as in water , and to compare the effects of these training forms . Thirty-two adults with asthma , randomized into two groups , underwent a 10-week supervised rehabilitation program with emphasis on physical training . All patients , irrespective of training form , were able to exercise to maximal intensity ( 80-90 % of estimated maximal heart rate ) . No asthmatic attacks occurred in connection with the training sessions . Respiratory variables remained almost unchanged in both groups . The asthma symptoms declined during the rehabilitation period , and the subjects needed less acute asthma care after the rehabilitation . The cardiovascular condition improved significantly and similarly in the two groups . Ten patients , 5 in each group , had exercise-induced asthma at the start of the rehabilitation . Only 3 patients , 2 from the water group and 1 from the land group , had exercise-induced asthma after 10 weeks . We conclude that indoor training , either on land or in water , is beneficial . The effects of these two training forms are almost equivalent .
