Can people with asthma play sports? It is advisable? How to avoid asthma due to physical exercise?

 

Claudia Jiménez, respiratory therapist and Coach of the HappyAir Colombia program, led a workshop on this topic, to answer these and other questions about how to approach physical exercise in patients with asthma.

In the online meeting, held on July 8, 2022, in which 240 people participated, including patients, caregivers and health professionals, the therapist shared relevant information about this condition and recommendations to take into account when engaging in physical activity.

Within the educational program on asthma and other respiratory conditions, the Lovexair Foundation organized, together with Fiquires and with the support of Sanofi, an informative webinar that included the participation of Claudia Jiménez, respiratory therapist and HappyAir Coach. During the event, information was provided on asthma, what recommendations should be taken into account in relation to diet and types of physical exercise, a demonstration of the correct use of different inhalers was carried out, among other topics.

“With medical support everything is possible. It is necessary to apply techniques to start adapting and managing our health in a different way, with more knowledge” Shane Fitch, CEO & President of the Lovexair Foundation
