Background: The effect of weight loss by whole body vibration on ventilatory functions in obese asthmatic children. Materials and Method: Forty obese asthmatic children from both sexes aged from 8 to 12 years were participated and were assigned to 2 groups of equal number. Group A received balanced caloric diet and breathing exercises. Group B received the same program of group A in addition to whole body vibration. The treatment program was conducted 3 sessions/week for 3 successive months. Anthropometric measures (weight, height, body mass index and waist circumference) and ventilatory functions measures (FVC, FEV1, FVC/FEV1%, PEFR) before and after 3 mon for both groups. Results: Significant improvement of all measuring variables including anthropometric and ventilatory functions parameters in both groups after treatment (p<0.05). However, no significant differences were found among control and study groups after treatment in all measured variables. Conclusion: The balanced caloric diet and breathing exercises were effective in decreasing Anthropometric measures and improving ventilatory functions in obese asthmatic children.
