Generally yes: Most persons with asthma who are receiving therapy & their asthma is well controlled should be able to perform simple exercises. If you plan to participate in endurance sports that require high degree of effort & preparation, then check with a pulmonologist who can perform an exercise study to assess your functional capacity & measure your lung function to give you clearance to participate.

Asthma & exercise.: The answer is yes Some people have exercise-induced asthma and would pump with Albuterol prior to exercising. Likewise, some have cold-induced asthma and would pump with Albuterol before exercising outside in the colder weather.
