By using inhaled steroids and their inhaler sensibly. The steroids aren't performance enhance like anabolic steroid and are not banned by any sport Talk to your doctor how he/she recommends you deal with it. They might refer you to a sports medicine doctor. These are the guys who really know their stuff about that very problem simply because they deal with it every day. There are a lot of asthmatics in sports.


20% of the athletes who were at Beijing were asthmatics. So it can be done.

Yea im a very active person. I swim, play volleyball, and basketball,while traning to be a lifeguard.





I use 3 different inhalors (one for excersice induced, one to diminish swelling, and one for attacks).





In addition I use two pills, one steriod (for the asthma - doctor prescribed), and one before sleep.





Most of the times it helps. If you find that yours are not helping, descibe everything to your doctor and ask if a steriod would be right for you. If not, maybe another inhalor would help.





Hope i helped =]
