Adult participants of both genders with moderate to severe asthma, not physically active, will be evaluated after being informed about the study, agreeing and signing the informed consent form. Participants will be randomized to aerobic training or behavioral intervention group. Both interventions will consist of 8 weeks. Aerobic training will be performed on a treadmill (2xweek; 45 min/session). The behavioral intervention will be a program to increase physical activity (1xweek; up to 90 min / session). The maximum HR will be estimated according to the Tanaka's equation (208 - 0.7 x age).
