Q

general recommendations for asthmatics

A
  • Evaluate the training environment for common asthma triggers
  • Employ longer warm-up and cool down periods to
    acclimate the body to changing physiological conditions
  • Swimming, cycling, and walking are less likely than running to trigger an event
  • Participating in sports that use stop-and-go activities (e.g., tennis, volleyball, and basketball) are less likely to trigger ElA when compared to long, continuous activity
  • High-intensity exercise triggers ElA more often than moderate-intensity exercise; intensities of 60-80% HRR are recommended when prescribing aerobic training
  • Steady-state endurance training is less likely than intervals to trigger a response
  • Encourage controlled nasal breathing whenever possible
  • Maintain appropriate medications on site and have an emergency plan
