Swimming is a sport that aid in the improvement of symptoms of asthma, especially in children and adolescents, says a study recently published. Swimming proved effective pharmacological intervention, not associated with the treatment of asthma.
Researchers have evaluated the effects of the practice of swimming in measures of lung function in children realzadas from 7 to 12 years of age. All participants were in regular treatment for asthma. Were divided into 2 groups of 15 children, where a group was directed to the sport and the other is not. After a period of 6 weeks, were re-evaluated respiratory and measures of asthma clinical conditions.
The program showed that children who swam regularly, showed a significant improvement of asthma, as well as measures of lung function and peak expiratory flow. These children also showed lower occurrence of hospitalization,
fewer crises and lacked less to school. Swimming also helped in the socialization of children, thereby increasing their confidence and reducing your incapacity.
Swimming, when compared to other sports, has less likely to cause asthma. In addition, it promotes a more psychological and physical development, healthy with improves lung volume and improves physical state. The children were re-evaluated after 1 year and continued to show benefits of sports.
It is important to note that the swimming does not cure asthma nor replaces the treatment, only the complements. Pools treated with chlorine can cause respiratory irritation, limiting the sport in some people more sensitive.
Bearers of thoracic breathing deformities or buccal should receive special attention before you start the practice of swimming.
Children, teenagers and adults asthmatics should be encouraged to practice physical activity, with free will to choose sport that most please you.
