Asthma and exercise 1.0

Almost all of us who have asthma get exercise-induced asthma when we train. And, a significantly number of those who do not have asthma develop an almost identical condition (exercise-induced bronchoconstriction).

For the curious and technically-inclined, the raw experimental results from journal-level research are shown in this book where possible. This material covers the symptoms and clinical assessments for EIA and EIB, the best medicinal and non-medicinal techniques, and the biological mechanisms of initiation and inflammation. This book also describes the World Anti-Doping Agency rules regarding the management of exercise-induced asthma. There are many examples of athletes who performed at the very highest levels who had EIB or EIA.

For those of us who are susceptible to EIB/EIA, we can have hope. "Asthma and exercise" summarizes how we can train as much as we want as long as we take certain precautions.
