A misconception has certainly existed in the past, and may still be found today, that people with asthma cannot or should not exercise at all. The belief behind this is that even minimal exercise will trigger an attack.

This can be seen on TV in many great sportsmen, tennis players in particular, and this psychic action may be more important in a tight corner than the technique of the play itself. How does the "psyching" of the body to produce beneficial natural internal secretion of what are natural, internal drugs relate to the need for external stimuli? This internalizing of drug-release is analogous to quick, sharp, deep breathing supplying extra oxygen to the bloodstream.
