posted on 2018-06-01, 14:30 authored by Wendy FreemanThe aim of the study was to examine the physiological effect of
endurance running on the asthmatic adult, an area in which there has
been little research. The specific aims were to: firstly, examine the
cardio-respiratory and metabolic responses to short term maximal and
submaximal exercise of untrained asthmatics and non-asthmatics, and
