Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this research was meta-analysis of the effect of home-based aerobic exercises on the indices of Forced expiratory volume(FEV1), forced vital capacity(FVC), Peak expiratory flow rate(PEFR), forced expiratory volume in 1 second/ Forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), Maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in asthmatics.
Methods & Materials: The research method was meta-analysis. The statistical population included domestic and foreign printed sources in English in the period from 2010 to 2022. The search result according to the keywords in the databases included 1848 cases, of which 87 were domestic researches and 1761 were foreign researches. After removing duplicate and unrelated researches, 35 researches were selected by full enumeration method. A checklist of bibliographic and methodological specifications was used to collect data. The effect size was calculated with Hedges g index in two fixed and random effects models and through CMA3 software.
Results: The results of Cochran's test and I2 square indicate the presence of homogeneity in FEV , PEFR FEV1/FVC , MVV VO2max and the presence of average homogeneity of FVC . Also, the results showed that the effect size of the studies conducted according to Cohen's classification in the index of FEV1 / FVC was low, in the indices of FEV, FVC (g=0.21, z=3.80), PEFR in the average level, and in the MVV and The VO2max is in the large limit.
Conclusions: In total, the results of the research showed the effectiveness of home-based aerobic exercises on the studied indicators.
