Exercise induces a number of cardiovascular and respiratory responses to occur inside the body (1). As exercise commences the demand for oxygen rises in order for the body to continue providing energy for muscular function. To do this, oxygen uptake increases linearly to match skeletal muscle demand, until maximum oxygen consumption is reached (2). Ventilation will increase so more oxygen is being consumed and more carbon dioxide (CO2) is offloaded; cardiac output (the product of stroke volume…

Imagine this, you're walking out of Shop Rite and the person next to you starts coughing. You notice that the coughing doesn't stop and it turns into wheezing.

This disease is called asthma, also known to many as reactive airway disease. The reason I chose this particular illness is because of the impact it has had on my brother’s life since he was diagnosed at the age of 3. Asthma is a chronic…
