It is important to note that training in extreme cold can also lead to worsening of asthma if they do not protect themselves well enough. So-called exercise-induced asthma can indirectly be caused by strenuous exercise in cold weather because it gets too much direct flow of cool air into the airways. Exercise-induced asthma may occur by hard training or competition for more than 15 degrees of frost.
The normal respiratory tract may partly respond to exertion in the cold, both in animals and humans. Tissue samples from the respiratory tract in sled dogs who have been involved in sled dog in Alaska showed various degrees of inflammatory reactions – just as in our cross country athletes when they compete in cold weather.
However, it is important to remember that physical activity improves stamina and the ability to cope with asthma. People with asthma can participate in regular physical activity, even in cold weather, provided good protection against the cold in front of nose and mouth and with an individual needs asthma medication. In general, should not those with asthma run cardio at temperatures below -10 degrees?
But asthma disease is very individual with fluctuations in disease course and some will experience problems with the breath already by a few degrees of frost. It is important to have knowledge of their disease and that one takes into account their own reactions.
