What Exercises are Benefical for Asthmatics?
There are forms of exercising that are better for those who have
asthma.
Certain forms of exercise will cause more wheeziness or chest
tightness than others.
For example, running outdoors not as good as swimming.
Indeed swimming is one of the best forms of exercise for people
with asthma because the swimmer is surrounded by warm, moist
air.
On the other hand if the air you breathe during exercise is cold
and dry, then the asthma will be worse.
If it is warm and moist, as with swimming, then the asthma will
be not be as bad.
This tells us why swimming causes less asthma attacks than
running, or other forms of exercise.
However, asthma and associated allergies can be complex as some
asthmatics suffer worsening symptoms from the fumes (chlorine)
in swimming pools.
The amount of time you exercise important as it usually takes at
least six minutes of continuous exercise to trigger an
exercise-induced asthma attack, and exercising for less time
than this may not be enough to trigger an attack.
For a few hours after you have had the exercise-induced asthma,
repeating the same amount of exercise will no longer produce the
same amount of asthma symptoms, or may even produce no asthma
symptoms at all.
In this way some patients are able to avoid exercise-induced
asthma either exercising with short bursts.
Therefore asthmatics are particularly suited to sports and
exercise, which consist of short bursts of activity with periods
of rest in between.
While long-distance or cross-country running would be a bad
choice of sport because they are undertaken outside in cold air
without short breaks others are possible including...
* Football or hockey, or similar sport, as they are played
in
brief bursts with short breaks and periods of rest in between.
* Swimming is an great form of exercise for anyone with asthma.
The warm moist air in the swimming pool is less likely to
trigger symptoms of asthma.
* Yoga is a another exercise for people with asthma as it
relaxes the body and the mind, reducing stress, and often done
indoors where the air is warm.
There is evidence that indicates that gradual exercise can make
you less prone to exercise-induced asthma.
Accordingly this disease does not automatically prevent a
sufferer from enjoying sport at any level.
There have been many Olympians, including medallists, who were
asthmatic and suffered from exercise-induced asthma.
However having the needed medical advice, asthma management,
treatment, as well as the proper coaching, training, and
self-discipline that every Olympic athlete needs to have, the
asthma problems were overcome.
There are steps to help you help you in reducing the severity or
number of asthma attacks.
* Speak with your doctor and make sure that you are properly and
safely using your asthma medications.
* Warming up and down to get your muscles ready as well as
getting your lung ready.
* Be aware of the weather and environmental conditions.
* Stay fit. Aerobic exercise help's to reduce the effects of
asthma and recommended by doctors for good health.
One of the triggers of asthma is fatigue. Having strong lungs, a
benefit of exercise, is allows you to avoid the fatigue that
brings on asthma attacks.
