Abstract
Because of anxiety against exercise induced asthma (EIA), the loss of ability in exercise or confidence in thier ability in sports become a problem among asthmatic patients. Serial maximum % fall after exercise in FEV1.0, acethylcholine threshold and exercise competence test (50m running, pretracted running) were studied for 1 year in 183 patients with EIA. And comparison of medications between on admission and on discharge were studied. Results were as follows: 1. Maximum % fall after exercise in FEV1.0, acethylcholine threshold showed improvement gradually during admission. 2. Ability of exercise performance was also improved. 3. Dose of medications were markedly decreased. It seem that daily training for asthmatic patiens is good for not only getting ability of exercise but also decreasing dose of drugs, improvement of bronchial hypersensitivity.
