Sport is a friend of those with asthma
«Sport is recommended for all asthma patients both for general well-being and to improve respiratory function. Yet – he says S.imona Barbagliapresident ofAssociation Breathe Together – not a few asthmatic boys and girls do not practice sports, despite being interested and motivated to do so, with repercussions on their self-esteem. Often they are isolated or isolate themselves in the occasion of planned sporting activities and at times they become “targets” of discrimination, mockery, bullying, they are made fun of for their unfamiliarity with sport. This is why we have decided to promote the campaign I have asthma and I play sports and convey correct information about the disease and its psychophysical benefits of motor activity“.
