Question: does playing sports (like tennis) help decease the chances/risks of having an asthma atack?

Some people have exercise-induced asthma so when they exert their bodies, their airways tighten up. But on the whole, it is usually an allergen that triggers asthma so as long on you have your inhaler with you, you will be perfectly fine to play sport. In fact, I think that some of the worlds best footballers have asthma!
