Asthma is common in many types of athletes, but its prevalence appears to be particularly high in swimmers. Long-term and acute exposure to swimming pool disinfectants has been shown to increase asthma risk in swimmers through inducing oxidative stress, which results in inflammation of the pulmonary epithelium and subsequent airway remodeling. Individuals with specific genotypes are more likely to develop asthma when exposed to inhaled irritants. Therefore, it is important for physicians to be knowledgeable about the risks associated with asthma in swimmers, as well as the diagnostic techniques and practices to reduce asthma symptoms.
哮喘在许多类型的运动员中很常见，但在游泳运动员中似乎更为高发。长期和急性暴露于游泳池消毒剂会通过诱导氧化应激使游泳运动员的哮喘风险增加，从而导致肺上皮炎症和随后的气道重塑。当吸入刺激性物质时，具有特定基因型的个体更容易患上哮喘。因此，医生了解与游泳运动员哮喘相关的风险以及减少哮喘症状的诊断技术和实践非常重要。
