“…However, it is generally accepted that deterring asthmatic children from sports and exercise is „fatal,“ and that an age-appropriately active way of life can contribute significantly to successful asthma management [21]. Too little is expected of asthmatic children in physical education at school, and rather than their exclusion appearing justified, it serves to stigmatize them further [22]. Training programs to promote physical exercise among children and adolescents reduce hospitalization periods, the frequency of asthma attacks, absenteeism from school, the number of visits to doctors, as well as medication use [23].…”

Allergy and school: nothing to be sneezed at!

et al. 2016

Background:Allergic diseases account for the largest proportion of chronic diseases in childhood and adolescence and place a significant burden on everyday family, social, and in particular school life. Without appropriate education, affected individuals often have little of the knowledge required to understand and deal safely with their allergic disease, and their social environment (school) generally offers insufficient information. An interdisciplinary project involving the Bielefeld Community Foundation (“Bielefelder Bürgerstiftung”), the Children’s Center Bethel, and the local school authority investigated the current knowledge, possibilities for increasing that knowledge, as well as pupils’ and teachers’ perception of the problems experienced by fellow pupils, while at the same time collecting current prevalence figures on allergic diseases among primary school children.Methods:All Bielefeld primary schools were invited to participate in the 3 years between 2008 and 2010. A teaching session on allergic diseases held by specialists from the pediatric hospital formed the core of the project. A standardized survey of children – which also addressed non-affected children for the first time in Germany – on the effects of, their knowledge of, and their attitudes toward allergic diseases, as well as an assessment of their quality of life (cross-sectional study), was conducted prior to and following each session. Parents were also surveyed.Results:In all, 24 schools per year, each with around 60 classes and 1,250 pupils aged 9 years, took part between 2008 and 2010. Approximately 30 % reported suffering from an allergic disease themselves, of which – with regard to single entries – 16 % were “allergies,” 4 % “asthma,” and 5 % atopic dermatitis. Figures collected from parents were only slightly lower than those from their children. Clear deficits that existed in terms of factual knowledge and/or correct conduct in allergic disease – among affected children as well as in their social environment – prior to the education program were noticeably improved by the teaching session.Discussion:The prevalence data gathered here confirm the high numbers recently found in the KiGGS study. Thus, allergic diseases represent a considerable disease risk and potential burden in school children. Providing affected children and their social environment (teachers, fellow pupils) with specialist education can bring about considerable improvements in everyday school life.

“…Asthmakranke Kinder werden in der Schule bzw. im Sportunterricht unterfordert, ihr Ausschluss vom Sportunterricht erscheint "in keinem Fall gerechtfertigt" [ 23 ] . Trainingsprogramme zur körperlichen Ertüchtigung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen verringern die Hospitalisationsdauer, die Häufi gkeit der Asthmaanfälle, die Fehlzeiten in der Schule, die Anzahl der Arztbesuche und den Medikamentenverbrauch [ 24 ] .…”

“…In addition to the physical symptoms of respiratory allergies and asthma, social and emotional impacts are reported, including decreased wellbeing and quality of life, feelings of difference, frustration, anxiety, and depression [21,22]. The psychosocial dimensions of living with asthma have other health-related impacts; for example, children with asthma are generally less physically active [16], for reasons including inaccurate symptom perception by caregivers or those diagnosed (e.g., perception that breathlessness or taking inhalers is harmful), individual or family illness beliefs (e.g., acceptance of physical inactivity as inevitable), or organization policies (e.g., limited asthma management knowledge in the school environment [23]) [16].…”

Understanding an Environmental Health Risk: Investigating Asthma Risk Perception in Ontario Youth Sport

The environment, broadly defined, plays a significant role in shaping human health. Understanding how environmental health risks are perceived by different people, in different places, and at different times is critical to their management. Using a place-based conceptual framework, this research investigates asthma risk perception determinants and outcomes amongst organized team sport stakeholders in Ontario. Two online surveys (coaches, n = 94; parents of athletes diagnosed with allergic disease, n = 90) were conducted. Binary regression was used to investigate determinants of risk perception. Asthma ranked seventh of 17 health hazards by coaches (23% ranked as high) and parents (34%), and determinants of risk included trigger knowledge, risk exposure, propensity for risk, indicators of trust, and socioeconomic variables (e.g., gender). As policy-makers look to manage health risks in sport, considering the risk profiles of different stakeholders (e.g., coaches, parents of vulnerable athletes), as well as the characteristics of the places in which risk is experienced, is critical to improving environment and health management in organized youth team sports.

Teilnahme von asthmakranken Kindern am Schulsport - Eine Erhebung an Hamburger Schulen -

Abstract: Asthmatic children are underestimated in school and participate in only 60 % equally to their healthy peers at sport-lessons. The knowledge about this most frequent chronic disease in children could be increased. Better training of teacher-students and teachers is recommended.
