Could i improve my asthma by doing regular exercise?

Yes: Participation in physical activity is an important part of self-image. Physical activity is especially important in children with asthma. Activities such as running and swimming are associated with improved fitness and decreased severity of asthma symptoms. Pediatrics 2004;113:e341-6.

Yes: Regular exercise can help with asthma. Need to be careful to avoid strenuous exercise. It is advised to warm up properly prior to exercise to avoid triggering an asthma attack. Avoid cold air and extreme weather when exercising outdoors.
