REPLACE: Can Exercise Replace Inhaled Corticosteroid Treatment in Asthma? A RCT

At least 102 asthmatics will be randomized 2:1 (2 to training group; 1 to control) and undergo 6 months of intervention or usual lifestyle. Subjects must have confirmed asthma diagnosis, on a stable treatment with inhaled corticosteroid, symptomatic and untrained. At enrollment and during the study asthma medicine is adjusted based on asthma symptoms evaluated by ACQ-5. 6 treatment steps are pre-defined, and if well controlled asthma, subjects are down-titrated one step, if uncontrolled, subjects are uptitrated one step.
