Cold air triggers exercise-induced asthma.

Many people suffer from exercise-induced asthma, a condition that makes it difficult to breathe during vigorous exercise; this may result in wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness. While this condition is common in people with regular asthma symptoms, it is also seen in those who have no other signs of asthma. However, there are ways to prevent wheezing during exercise. Warming up before running and other types of exercise can help. Also, since cold air can trigger asthma symptoms, breathing warm, moist air instead of cold, dry air can help to prevent many of the symptoms associated with exercise-induced asthma. One of the best places for someone with exercise-induced asthma to work out is in an indoor pool, because the air is usually warm and very humid. If you prefer exercising outside, experts recommend wearing a scarf over your nose and mouth to warm the air you breathe.
