Exercise-induced asthma usually occurs within 3 minutes after exercise is ended. It usually is worst 10-15 minutes after exercise, and resolves by 60 minutes. It is thought to be connected to the body's attempt to warm and humidify the increased volume of air breathed out during exercise.
Though an episode of exercise-induced asthma can be an unsettling experience, it should not be used as an excuse to avoid regular exercise. In the past, many asthmatic children were precluded from exercise, but it is now known that exercise is an essential element in the healthy management of asthma. Olympian Jackie Joyner-Kersee is a vital role model for children with exercise-induced asthma.
