Can exercise help my asthma? if so, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asthma & exercise: Exercise absolutely helps your asthma. First of all, if you develop cough and wheezing during exercise, use your albuterol inhaler before you engage. During exercise, your breathing becomes faster and harder thereby increasing your lung volume by opening up the unused portions during normal breathing. The increased pulmonary circulation likewise increases oxygen in the blood and body tissues.
