AbstractIntroduction:  Predicted aerobic capacity (PAC) was estimated by submaximal exercise test and compared with monitored aerobic capacity (MAC) measured by laboratory conditions [maximal oxygen uptake (VO2peak)] in 18 children and adolescents, 10 asthmatics and 8 matched controls.Objectives:  To compare aerobic capacity between asthmatic children and controls, to estimate the agreement between PAC and MAC and observe for trend of PAC.Materials and Methods:  The design was prospective, 4 years (PAC) and cross‐sectional (MAC and VO2peak). Non‐parametric Wilcoxon rank sums were applied for statistical evaluation; the method of Bland and Altman estimated the agreement between PAC and MAC; P < 0.05.Results:  PAC at baseline and follow‐up, and MAC at follow‐up, showed significant differences between groups (P < 0.05), and the mean difference between PAC and MAC at follow‐up was −1.0 mLO2/min/kg [non‐significant (ns)], indicating that PAC had a bias towards underestimation as compared with MAC. Limits of agreement, mean difference [±2 standard deviations (SD)], ranged from −8.5 to 6.5 mLO2/min/kg, indicating good agreement between the two measurements. No trend of PAC was observed (ns). Physical activity level and subjective health showed no differences between groups, or level and categories, respectively.Conclusion:  The asthmatic participants presented with lower aerobic capacity than controls in both PAC and MAC; therefore, results confirmed the validity of the PAC method. Data warrant exploration by large‐scale paediatric asthma epidemiology.Please cite this paper as: Lochte L, Angermann M and Larsson B.
