Participation in vigorous exercise or sport is now recognised to play an important role in many people’s lifestyle. Sporting activity is associated with a broad range of benefits, including for pulmonary, cardiovascular, metabolic and mental health. For some individuals, however, the ability to participate in and enjoy sporting activity may be curtailed by the presence of respiratory symptoms. Indeed, it is estimated that at least one in four individuals report troublesome exercise-related respiratory issues and pulmonary conditions, such as asthma, are a highly prevalent and impactful problem in people partaking in endurance sport.
Despite respiratory issues being a prevalent issue in sport, clinicians often feel unclear as to the best way to proceed when faced with this problem. There is a lack of clear guidance regarding the best way to investigate pulmonary issues in athletic individuals and this can lead to uncertainty regarding the best way to proceed. There is also a need for pulmonary clinicians to consider how sporting activity interacts with environmental conditions and thus how to protect pulmonary health in the context of undertaking exercise, in potentially noxious environments. Pulmonary clinicians may also be faced with questions from individuals with chronic lung disease wishing to safely engage in and enjoy sport.
The aim of this webinar series, is to tackle these important areas, by presenting a series of six webinars, timed to coincide with the Olympic and Paralympic year in 2024, and to provide attendees with a ‘state of the art’ update in these areas. Leading experts in the field will be invited to contribute to this panel-style webinar series and the progamme has been designed to be inclusive and to appeal to a the broad ERS membership.
The series will enable attendees to become more confident in the assessment, diagnosis and management of respiratory problems in athletic individuals. The series will also provide a comprehensive overview of this area and thus appeal to a broad audience within the multidisciplinary team. The series starts with an overview of respiratory physiology in this area and the way diagnostic tests should be employed, before moving to discuss the key clinical issues.
The programme is designed to appeal to the entire ERS membership and includes:
