Word count: 140 Objective: This study employed qualitative research methods combined with a Delphi expert consultation approach to develop a scientific, standardized, and clinically feasible aerobic exercise prescription tailored for pediatric asthma patients. Guided bythe core principle of sports-medicine integration and informed by the pathophysiological characteristics of childhood asthma, we systematically constructed this intervention protocol and conducted preliminary evaluations of its safety,implementation feasibility, and therapeutic effectiveness in clinical settings. The research objectives aimed to establish evidence-based guidelines for safe and effective aerobic exercise implementation in this vulnerable population, with the ultimate goals of enhancing physical health outcomes, improving quality of life metrics, and providing both theoretical frameworks and practical protocols for clinical rehabilitation programs targeting asthmatic children. Our findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding non-pharmacological interventions in pediatric respiratory disease management while offering empirically validated exercise guidelines for clinical practitioners.
