Abstract
More than 80 of asthmatic patients develop exercise-induced asthma (EIA), but most of them can successfully and safely participate in most types of physical activity. Physicians can teach them to avoid conditions that exacerbate EIA, such as air pollution. These strategies, with premedication and individualized training, make it possible for many asthmatics to achieve high level of physical fitness and even to excel in competitive sports. In addition to the many psychological and physical benefits of aerobic training, the asthmatic exerciser gets a bonus: better control of EIA. Verf.-Referat
