Abstrakt		Asthma is the most frequent chronic disease among children. We evaluate asthma prevalence at 4%. The basic characteristic of asthma is oversensitivity of the airways to various stimuli. The article discusses asthma problems triggered by exertion. it describes the canses of the development of difficulties induced by exertion, the clinical picture and the possibilities of preventing and treating closure of respiratory paths induced by exertion. It emphasises the considerable importance of appropriate preventive (antiinflammatory) treatment of asthma, since one of the aims of treating asthma is to enable the patient to engage in any sport without limitations and difficulties. It is recommended that asthma patients engage in sports as much as possible or regularly pursue physical activities, since by regular training we can achieve better functioning of the lungs and lower occurrence of the symptoms induced by exertion.
Izvleček		Astma je najpogostnejša kronična bolezen pri otrocih. Pri nas ocenjujemo, da je prevalenca astme okrog 4%. Osnovna značilnost astme je preobčutljivost dihalnih poti za najrazličnejše dražljaje. Prispevek obravnava problem astme, sprožene z naporom. Opisani so vzroki nastanka težav, ki jih sproži napor, klinična slika ter možnosti preprečevanja in zdravljenja zapore dihalnih poti, izzvane z naporom. Prispevek poudarja tudi velik pomen ustreznega preventivnega (protivnetnega) zdravljenja astme, saj je eden od ciljev njenega zdravljenja omogočiti bolniku udejstvovanje v kateremkoli športu brez omejitev ali težav. Priporočljivo je, da se bolniki z astmo čimveč ukvarjajo s športom ali redno telesno aktivnostjo, saj z rednim treningom lahko dosežejo boljšo pljučno funkcijo in zmanjšajo pojav simptomov, ki jih sproži napor.
