Tag: Exercise induced bronchoconstriction

Up to 90% of people with asthma may experience exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), a condition where airways narrow during or after exercise, which can cause concern for those considering strength training. However, with the right strategies and careful management, it is entirely possible to safely pursue weight lifting and build muscle, even with asthma.

According to a review published in the journal *Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology*, studies found that people who consumed vitamin C daily showed a less decline in their FEV1 score after exercise than those who did not. This suggests a potential link between vitamin C supplementation and better breathing, particularly for individuals with exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
