Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a 6-week Inspiratory Muscle Training and cardiovascular exercise training program in children and adolescents with asthma.

To also determine the efficacy of inspiratory muscle training and exercise in increasing respiratory muscle strength and endurance, and to explore relationships between fitness interventions (inspiratory muscle training and exercise), exercise tolerance, airway closure and dyspnea scores.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Arm 1 : Inspirtory muscle training (IMT)
IMT exercises at home will gradually ramp up.
 Behavioral: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT)
IMT exercises at home will gradually ramp up
Experimental: Arm 2: Exercise alone
Subjects will be asked to exercise 2x/week for 6 weeks in person at the Duke research facility and again 2x/week at home for 30 minutes.
 Behavioral: Exercise alone
Subjects will be asked to exercise 2x/week for 6 weeks in person at the Duke research facility and again 2x/week at home for 30 minutes.
Experimental: Arm 3: IMT and Exercise
a combination of arm 1 and arm 3
 Behavioral: IMT and Exercise
Combining IMT training and exercise
No Intervention: Arm 4: Routine care
no interventions will occur in this group besides testing procedures and offering access to the study team in case asthma-related questions come up.
