(en) [Exercise-induced asthma in child with asthma] Asthma is one of the most important chronic diseases in children. Dealing with physical activity in asthmatic children requires understanding and optimal management, as they may present exercise-induced asthma during activity. This may be related to poor control of the disease and the child's physical condition, or to exercise-induced hyperventilation related to the conditions under which the physical activity is performed. The impact of exercise-induced asthma is both medical and psychosocial, often leading to deconditioning. As for asthma itself, management requires optimal treatment with maintenance and acute therapy. Prevention, effort reconditioning programs and education are also now part of the therapeutic armamentarium, making it easier for the child to take part in physical activities, deal with the disease and handle acute attacks with less anxiety. Thus, asthmatic children's quality of life and physical fitness are improved
