Abstract

Although swimming is their optimum sport and exercise, asthmatics should be encouraged to embrace a full and varied program of sport and physical education. Sports exclusion should be infrequent as possible. Pre-exercise cromolyn sodium will significantly reduce exercise-induced athma (EIA) and salbutamol may be administered pre-exercise should EIA supervene. "Warm-up" is recommended. The current ruling which classes selective β₂-adrenocepter agonists as doping agents in sports should be rescinded.
