Exercise and asthma

  You CAN Exercise and have Asthma if you’re careful!

A life without any form of exercise or sport can be a very boring and inactive life. No matter if exercise is known to be one of the triggers of asthma, it is good for your health and so should be engaged in but only to the extent that the asthma condition can be controlled.

. and that’s a big but...


You should try as much as possible to avoid strenuous exercising and only engage in the types of exercises or sports that will not put you in harm’s way... in view of your asthmatic condition.

For example, don’t engage in any form of very long distance races. Such exercises can leave you gasping for breath... which is not a good thing for you as an asthmatic victim. Even people without asthma find it difficult after a long distance race, let alone you that have an asthmatic condition.

Also, avoid strenuous sports like football, basketball, and other such sports that would put too much pressure on you.

The kinds of exercises and sports you can engage in which would not pose a danger to you as an asthmatic victim includes the following:

- Swimming is good for you as an asthmatic victim because it doesn’t put too much pressure on you and can be done easily at your own pace.

- Karate can also be a good type of exercise which won’t put you in harm’s way.

- Golf is an excellent excercise sport for you as an asthmatic patient.

The above mentioned exercises and sports do not put too much pressure on you, especially sports like golf.

So, your asthmatic condition should not prevent you from engaging in sports or a reasonable exercising program. The only thing is to do ONLY those types of exercises and sports that won’t trigger a severe asthmatic episode
