Although inspiratory muscle training has been widely studied, the effects of expiratory muscle training (EMT) in pediatric asthma remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of EMT on pulmonary function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, peak cough flow (PCF), functional capacity, and asthma control in children with asthma. This prospective, single-blinded randomized controlled trial included 30 clinically stable children with asthma aged 8\u201318\u00a0years. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG) receiving EMT in addition to a home-based chest physiotherapy program or a sham group (SG) performing the same program with minimal resistance. EMT was performed once daily for 8\u00a0weeks at 30% of maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) with weekly load adjustments. Pulmonary function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, PCF, functional capacity, and asthma control test (ACT) scores were assessed at baseline and after 8\u00a0weeks. FVC and FEV\u2081 improved significantly only in the EG, whereas PEF increased in both groups with greater improvement in the EG. MIP increased in both groups, while MEP and MEP (% predicted) improved only in the EG. PCF, quadriceps strength, and 6MWT distance improved in both groups, with greater gains in the EG. ACT scores increased significantly in both groups but improved more in the EG.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Adding 8\u00a0weeks of EMT to chest physiotherapy improved pulmonary function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, cough effectiveness, functional capacity, and asthma control in children with asthma.
