Physical activity can have both positive and negative impacts on people with
asthma, a chronic inflammatory illness of the airways. Exercise can be therapeutic and help
alleviate some of the symptoms of asthma, despite the common belief that it is not
recommended for those who have the condition. Examining physical therapy for bronchial
asthma is the focus of this article.
Keywords:
asthma, exercise, chronic inflammatory disease, good posture, oxygen levels
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, and physical activity can have
both beneficial and detrimental effects. Although it may seem that exercise is
contraindicated for people with asthma, it can be therapeutic and help relieve some of the
symptoms associated with the disease.
Although supervised exercise training has been used to treat asthma for decades, recent
research has shed light on how this form of therapy can improve patients’ quality of life. A
study of 56 adults with asthma by Brazilian researchers found that after three months of
condition-specific exercise therapy, patients reported improved breathing function and
quality of life..

The main goal of exercise therapy is to improve overall health by maintaining good posture,
increasing oxygen levels in the div, increasing endurance and muscle strength, gently
stretching the joints to maintain a healthy range of motion in the muscles and joints
important for breathing control, while reducing stress levels, which have been found to
worsen asthma symptoms
In addition to aerobic exercise—bicycling (outdoors or indoors), jogging/walking on level
ground (avoiding busy streets), swimming (indoors or outdoors if the environment meets
certain temperature requirements)—physical therapy may also include: strength training,
such as lifting light weights; balance exercises, such as stretching on a ball or standing on
one leg; flexibility exercises, such as yoga or Pilates; relaxation techniques, such as
meditation; agility exercises that involve reaction time, such as tennis drills—all within the
limits prescribed by your doctor based on your individual condition.

Patients with asthma are advised to start with low intensity exercise, such as slow walking
for short distances, until the div gradually adapts. The key here is consistency: regular
exercise is most effective in preventing exacerbations, as opposed to sporadic exercise,
which can lead to exacerbations if too much is done too soon without proper supervision by
a professional who understands the mechanics and physiology behind the type of exercise
that is specific to this type of chronic disease. Before starting any program, it is important to
consult with a doctor first: they should determine what type(s) of exercise is best for the
individual, taking into account important information about personal climate preferences, as
the weather can significantly affect the level of difficulty breathing depending on
humidity/dryness, as well as other factors that affect the intensity of exercise, such as
age/weight/physical condition, and remembering to take preventative medications, if any,
before starting vigorous exercise.
In conclusion, an appropriate regimen, tailored specifically to each patient by health
professionals, can help reduce the frequency and severity of episodes, reduce the number of
medications taken and improve overall health, which is beneficial not only from a physical
but also from a psychological point of view, as it allows people with asthma to gain
confidence in their daily lives, knowing that they will not have to constantly worry about
sudden attacks thanks to proper preparation for their specific case, rather than relying on
supportive forms of treatment that aim to manage rather than react when an attack occurs.
