Hi,
What a day this is turning out to be....
Did my class 1 on Wednesday and there were concerned with my mild Asthma. So they made me run around the car park for six minutes and then do my FEV1.
The figures are as follows:
Before excercise: 73%
Straight after excercise: 60%
10 minutes after excercise: 61%
The limit is a 15% drop in FEV1 performance after excercise and Im around 18%. Great news.
Now the question is, is there anything I can do to improve this figure? My specialist has given me the impression that FEV1 isnt a product of overall fitness and if you have Asthma then getting fitter wont improve the FEV1.
Id be interested to hear of anyone else perhaps in a similar situation who has managed to overcome this problem. Maybe if I can improve my FEV1 anyway the figure after excercise will come up as well.
As luck would have it I only developed Asthma around 3 months ago and the timing
could not be worse!
Cheers.
