Regular and moderate exercise strengthens the lungs and prevents asthma symptoms. Although exercise can be a trigger for asthma in some people, with appropriate asthma treatment and monitoring of the condition, exercise, even vigorous exercise, is possible.

Will asthma medication show up on drug test?
Clenbuterol, which is related to many asthma medications, is commonly used by athletes to improve performance and is tested for by athletic associations. I would not expect asthma medications ot trigger a positive result on the more common "drugs of abuse" screens.
Are inhalers a drug when you do not asthma?
It can be, yes. Some athletes who do not have asthma use inhalers improperly to improve their performance. When you inhale enough of it you get a rush, and it speeds your heart up. Causing a speedy rush for a few minutes. Though, this is dangerous. And no one should try it. Even when I use my inhaler for asthma, sometimes I get that speeding feeling, so I'm sure someone who doesn't have asthma would definitely get it alot more.
Why is it hard for people that have asthma to be a athletic?
well:) if you have asthma your lungs tend to be weaker than non-asthmatic people so if your doing a race and your asthmatic you will get out of breathe quicker. but that doesn't stop asthmatics people i mean many asthmatic people are top athletes hope that helped:)
