Managing Exercise Induced Asthma (EIA)
Students with asthma are encouraged to take part in school based exercise and physical activity to contribute to their cardiovascular fitness and general wellbeing. Most individuals with EIA can exercise to their full potential if the following steps are taken:
1. Students should take their blue reliever medication 5-10 minutes before warm up, then warm up appropriately.
2. If the student presents with asthma during the activity the student should stop the activity, take their blue reliever
medication and wait 4 minutes. If the symptoms improve, they may resume activity. If their symptoms reoccur, recommence treatment. THE STUDENT SHOULD NOT RETURN TO THE ACTIVITY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES and the parent/carer should be informed of any incident.
3. Cool down at the end of activity and be alert for asthma symptoms after exercise.
Does the student need assistance taking their medication? Yes No If yes, how? ______________________ Asthma medication requirements usually taken: (Including relievers, preventers, symptom controllers, combination)
