Exercise is necessary for all children, and provide moments of happiness while preparing to teach a healthy lifestyle as adults, therefore, the child with asthma should not be an exception, and should make physical exercise a manner “adequate”.
Benefits of exercise in children with asthma:
- Improved child development
- Improving physical fitness and exercise tolerance itself
- The attacks caused by stress are reduced or are less strong
- The crises are best controlled
- It helps to reduce the nervousness caused by the attacks.
But keep in mind that at least 80% of children with asthma may have a bronchoconstriction with sports, unless appropriate measures are taken). However, given the benefit of sport psycho and integrator, is a great error overprotect the asthmatic child and prevent a normal level of exercise.
When we begin a physical activity for the first time we all get tired, feel fatigue and breathlessness. In the asthmatic child who has done sports before, these feelings are even stronger. Therefore, the adaptation of the child with asthma sports activity should be very gradual, so that eventually learn to distinguish between normal breathlessness by intense exercise and breathlessness by an asthma attack.
