Question : Is it good/bad for young children with asthma to participate in sports?
I’m trying to convince someone that doing sports can help the child’s breathing now and in the long run if they continue to do sports and physical activities.
asthma in children

Answer by Tiziano
Physical exercise promotes better lung function over the long term and so should definitely be encouraged whilst taking precautions to keep it within a reasonable intensity and making sure they take their preventer medication daily BEFORE activity especially. Studies show dependency on inhalers is reduced with regular sport and response to inhalers is improved with lower BMIs. You’re right, get them active :-)
