Asthma and sport
It’s time to break the misconception that exercise harms patients with asthma. To show that their coverage is not only physical activity but also the professional sport of sports, they can cite the fact that in the coursework of the XXIII Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles in the American team numbering 597 people, 26 players had documented bronchial asthma. What is more, 41 Olympic medals including 15 gold & 21 silver, received the American athletes who have been reported exertional bronchospasm (after Pierson EC: Exercise induced bronchospasm in the XXIII Summer Olympic Games. N. Engl., Reg. Allergy Proc , 1986, 9, 209-213).
It is true that patients with asthma, exercise is often a trigger brief bouts of breathlessness & exacerbations. However, the consequence of their total avoidance of physical exercise is to reduce the general physical fitness throughout their body. Modern methods of medical treatment tailored to the changing coursework of the illness & look after the patient’s general physical condition meant that increasingly doctors recommend people with asthma, various forms of physical activity.
