This resource offers tips for addressing exercise-induced asthma by school personnel who are responsible for physical activity and sports programs for students. This tips sheet provides general guidance for responding to and preventing breathing difficulties related to physical activity among students with diagnosed exercise-induced asthma. It is a two-page summary of actions that are described in more detail in Asthma & Physical Activity in the School and in Managing Asthma: A Guide for Schools. It is a handy tool that can be used in conjunction with asthma education programs for school personnel and as a quick reference on coaches’ clipboards.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has established a blueprint for taking action against asthma in California through the Strategic Plan for Asthma in California 2008-2012. The Plan is a roadmap developed collaboratively by government agencies, asthma experts, community groups, and others to improve asthma prevention, treatment, policy, data, and public education. Starting with its publication in 2002, strategies outlined in the Plan have been implemented by both State and local programs in an effort to reduce the burden of asthma in California. With the input from stakeholders throughout the state, the Plan was revised in 2007 for the next five years of implementation.
