Living with asthma at school

Physical education for asthmatics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammation of the respiratory system that results from genetic factors, combined with various triggers such as dust, mites, mould, chemicals, climate change and even physical exercise; these agents obstruct the airways, causing the individual to have bronchospasm. However, much is known about the benefits of physical activity for school-age children and adolescents, and simply removing the possibility for children with bronchial asthma to engage in any type of physical exertion because of this condition does not seem to be the best approach. It is therefore the role of the physical educator to ensure a suitable environment for children and adolescents within schools. This study aims to show how important it is that these asthmatic students are not exempted from school physical education classes, but rather integrated in such a way that they engage in regular physical exercise that can even improve their respiratory tract.
