Table 2

Descriptive information, mean (±SD), of study population by group.

Baseline
	Asthma	𝑃	Control
	♂ / ♀		♂ / ♀
𝑁	17 / 11		16 / 11
Age	10.1 (2.5)	ns	9.9 (2.7)
BMI	18.8 (3.8)	=0.046	17.1 (2.0)
FEV1	2.2 (0.8)	ns	2.3 (1.0)
PAC	44.3 (7.3)	=0.009	52.1 (13.4)
RS	7.5 (1.6)	ns	7.7 (1.3)

𝑁: number
Age (years), BMI: body mass index (kg/m²), FEV₁: forced expiratory volume in one second (L), PAC: predicted aerobic capacity (mLO₂/min/kg),RS: running speed (km/h)
𝑃: probability, ns: nonsignificant.
