The participant completed receiving pilates training program three time a week for ten week-long (60 minutes/time)

Subject participating in 60-min sessions for 10 weeks and Each session consisted of a 10-min warm up (Breathing, Imprint & release, Hip release, Spine rotation, Hip rolls, Scapula isolation, Arm circle, Elevation & depression scapulae, Head nod, Cat stretch), Pilates program 40-min (Toe tap, Ad prep, Breast stroke preps, Heel squeeze prone, Side leg lift, Single leg extension, One leg circle, Shoulder bridge prep, Four point, kneeling, Spine twist, Hundred prep, Roll up prep, shoulder bridge prep2, Breast stroke, Swimming, Half roll back) and 10-min cool down (Spine stretch forward, Shell stretch, Side bending, Cat stretch, Roll down)

Nasal symptoms were assessed using Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) questionnaire. The subjects were asked to score symptoms of persistent allergic rhinitis before and after yoga training protocol. The total nasal symptom scores were computed as the sum of four individual nasal symptom scores; nasal congestion, itching, sneezing, and rhinorrhea. The scores ranged from 0 to 3 scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3= severe)

Nasal secretions collection was performed bilaterally with filter paper strips (7x30 mm Whatman No.42, Whatman, Clifton, NJ). Three filter paper strips were sequentially placed on each anterior portion of the inferior turbinate for 10 min. This filter paper strips were collected into appropriate tubes and centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C and immediately frozen at -70 °C until later analysis.The levels of cytokines were determined by using Sandwich ELISA technique

Respiratory muscle strength was assessed by measuring Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) and Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP) in cmH2O. The participants were in a sitting position using a portable handheld mouth pressure meter (i.e., MicroRPM) with a nose clip. For the MIP measurement, the participants were asked to exhale until they felt no air remaining in their lungs (starting with the functional residual capacity [FRC] point), then held the device on their mouth and inhaled forcefully for 1-2 seconds. For the MEP measurement, the participants were asked to inhale until their lungs were completely filled with air (starting with the total lung capacity [TLC] point), then they kept the device on their mouth and exhaled forcefully for 1-2 seconds
