Physical training is well tolerated, leads to improvements in cardiopulmonary fitness and is not associated with adverse outcomes in people with asthma.

Context Asthma affects 8-9% of the population in the UK. Exercise acts as a trigger for acute bronchoconstriction in approximately 80°/o of those with asthma. As such, people with asthma tend to avoid PA. In addition to many benefits of engaging in PA, regular exercise may lead to significant improvements in asthma control. This exercise paradox leaves many healthcare practitioners wondering whether they should recommend PA to their patients with asthma. A recent Cochrane review aiming to understand the effect of regular PA on asthma-related health was conducted to help elucidate this paradox.
