According to Taiwanese immunologists at Taipei Medical University, children with asthma can monitor and regulate all signs of this disease with the help of swimming. According to doctors, the effectiveness of swimming in the fight against respiratory system disorders has been proven.

The study was conducted with the participation of two groups of children in the age category from 7 to 12 years. One group was engaged in a special program in the basin for 6 weeks, the other was a control. In the first group, absolutely all children had an improvement, both in the state of health and in clinical parameters.

Regular swimming led to the fact that the number of hospitalized children was sharply reduced, and the number of school absences was reduced.

Pediatricians recorded a reduction in the severity of asthma, breathing was facilitated, wheezing went away, many children got rid of deformity of the chest, the quality of life of asthmatics children improved.

According to doctors, swimming, unlike other sports, is the safest sport for children suffering from asthma, and does not provoke attacks of suffocation. Swimming in addition to improving respiratory processes (increased lung volume, excellent breathing techniques) also contributes to the normal psychological and physical development of the child. After a year of such activities, good health results are observed. Sumy. Ua.
