Doctor Uwe Verangen talked about the number of athletes on the Norwegian cross-country ski team who suffer from asthma and are taking medication for it.
“On the Norwegian team at the World Cup, 50 to 70 percent of the athletes have been diagnosed with asthma and are on medication. That number has barely changed for several years.
Asthma in the population of a particular region or in children is a slightly different type of disease than the irritation of the airways faced by high-level athletes who train hard and over time put too much strain on their respiratory system. .
Therefore, there are different types of asthma”, – quotes the Norwegian doctor VG.
