Cardiac fitness for asthma patients? how do i improve cardiac fitness with asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aerobic but slower: Aerobic exercise works as well in asthma as non-asthma but you should use albuterol before workouts and the intensity likely will need to be advanced slower especially early.
