The participants of this study were 20 children with asthma , which were divided into training group and control group equally. The mean age was 10.3±1.0 years, the mean height was 140.5±8.8 cm, and the mean body weight was 40.9±15.2 kg. The training group underwent a 8-weeks interval running-walking training .The frequency was 3 times a week, and the duration time was 45 minutes. The training intensity was between 55-70% of maximal heart rate. The tests including: 1.FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC(%) , and PEFR; 2.cardiorascular endurance of 800-meter running test; 3.IgE index. The collected data was analyzed by independent t-test, dependent t-test and one way ANCOVA. The significant standard was set p＜.05. The results showed no significant differences between two groups in FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC(%), PEFR and 800m running-wakling test. The training group was higher than the control group in IgE index（567.8 vs. 434.8 IU/ml, p＜.05）. The intervention of this study could not improve the variables including pulmonary function and cardiorascular, but increased IgE index for training group. The 800-meter running-wakling test might not be appropriate for asthmatic children to evaluate cardiorascular endurance. Besides the effect of exercise on IgE index for asthmatic children need more researches to prove.
