Episode Synopsis

Can people with asthma safely exercise—and even thrive in sport? In this episode, we explore the Australian Association for Exercise and Sports Science position statement on exercise and asthma. We unpack the role of Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction (EIB), why swimming is often ideal, and how to tailor safe, effective exercise programs for individuals with asthma. You’ll learn about pre-exercise medications, environmental considerations, warm-up protocols, and what makes exercise both safe and essential for long-term asthma management. Whether you’re a clinician, coach, or someone living with asthma, this episode delivers practical, evidence-based guidance to help you breathe better and move more.
