Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between quality of life, exercise capacity, and quality of asthmatic children sleep. Objectives: To avaluate the relationship between quality of life, exercise capacity and capacity of sleep of asthmatic children. Methods: This study is an observational cross sectional. Dyspnea and fatigue of the lower limbs were assessed by the 10-point Borg scale category-ratio (CR 10); spirometry, using a digital portable spirometer KOKO® (Longmont, United States of America); quality of sleep and presence of sleep disorders, using The Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC); for functional capacity, the 6MST was used; and for quality of life, the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ). The accelerometer Actilife GT3X was used for physical activity level classification. We used the SPSS 17, assigning the significance level of 5%, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality of data. Descriptive statistics are given as mean, standard deviation and percentage. The "t" test and oneway ANOVA were used for comparative analysis of the quality of life. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used between quantitative variables and PAQLQ scores. Multiple linear regression analysis (backward method) between the variables that correlated were made. Results: were 45 asthmatic children of both sexes (60% - male), at age 7-12 years. Among them, 51.1% had asthma intermittently to light, and 48.9% had moderate to severe asthma. The following sleep disorders were observed: sleep-disordered breathing (n = 20), sleep hyperhydrosis (n = 12), and disorders of initiating and maintaining sleep (n = 2). The sample consisted of 71.1% of sedentary children or with low physical activity level. The 6MST-T average was 175.9 ± 32.9. QQVAP mean for the Total score and domains: symptoms, activity limitation (AL) and emocional function (EF) were, respectively, 5.5±1.2; 5.6±1.3; 4.9±1.4; 5.7±1.3. Asthma severity, sleep quality, and dyspnea felt after 6MST, explained 31% of the change in total score QQVAP, and 35.6% of domain symptoms. Dyspnea after 6 minutes of TD6, 7.2% for the AL field and gravity level in combination with sleep, to 16.2% explained EF score. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that in asthmatic children, the quality of life may be related to asthma severity, sleep quality, and dyspnea felt after exercise.porAcesso AbertoAsmaCriançaQualidade de vidaExercícioDispneiaSonomasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::FISIOTERAPIA E TERAPIA OCUPACIONAL
