Asthma affects 6-8 per cent of the adult population, and is often triggered by physical activity, its occurrence in conjunction with athletics is a problem commonly encountered by most doctors treating the disease. Findings in recent studies suggest that asthma may be even more prevalent among those engaged in endurance sports. The risk of sports-induced asthmatic symptoms is dependent on the type of sport and climatic conditions, being higher in endurance sports and in cold and dry air. Asthma in sports should be treated in the same way as asthma in general. Inhaled beta-agonist and steroid treatment is usually sufficient, possibly in combination with a cromolyn preparation, though doping regulations need to be taken into account.
哮喘影响6%至8%的成年人口，且常由体育活动引发，在运动员群体中发病是大多数治疗该疾病的医生常见的问题。近期研究结果表明，哮喘在耐力运动人群中可能更为普遍。运动诱发哮喘症状的风险取决于运动类型和气候条件，在耐力运动以及寒冷干燥的空气中风险更高。运动性哮喘的治疗方式与一般哮喘相同。吸入β-激动剂和类固醇治疗通常就足够了，可能还会结合色甘酸钠制剂使用，不过需要考虑反兴奋剂规定。
