Our Reach Your Peak resources are designed to help people with asthma enjoy exercise and take part in sports.
Exercise can pose a challenge to people with asthma, particularly as it can be a trigger for some people. Poorly controlled asthma can also make exercising challenging, but the good news is that, with the right preparation and good asthma management, even those with severe asthma should be able to take part in sports.

-
