For those of you who have asthma or has a wrestler with asthma it can be flustrating to watch.

 

I have done alot of experimentation with medicine and workout strategys for my wrestler but here are some helpfull hints and a link for those with the same struggle.

 

http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1999/11_99/lacroix.htm

 

Key:

 

1. Warm up 15 min prior to each event

2. Slow cool down after each event

3. Ideal circumstances gives the athelete 30 min before the next event if they are chaining events together.

4. Rescue inhalers by the time they are realized they are needed the person is already in the middle of the event. Based on your inhaler and your daily control medicines inhalers can often be used prior to the event .

5. Cardio condtioning will require more of an investment then the regular guy.

 

 

 

 

Hope this information helps!

I wrestled with asthma and all I can say is this is a great post. I would also like to secong the inhaler suggestion for sure. If you wait to your shortness of breath begins it will probably be too late. I used to take mine ideally 5 to 10 minutes before my match but no more than 15 minutes before. This was suggested by my phyician and it seemed to work very well. I also tried to do extra cardio work.

Very good post. I have a son with a pretty bright future in this sport but he battles severe asthma. Anyone with any helpful suggestions please email me. What medications have you found to work the best? Have you ever used a nebulizer prior to a tough match? One thing I have noticed with my son and several of the kids I coach that suffer from asthma is that when we are at a tournament that is printing t-shirts on site there asthma episodes sky rocket. That smoke from those heat presses fills the gym and really seems to bother them.

Recently,

We were at a local dual and the tournament decided to grill underneath an awning do to the rain that flooded the gym with smoke.. even had the alarms going off and it was my wrestlers turn of course.. there are always those factors and he has had to deal with,, like dealing with stalling points when needing his inhaler which goes with the territory as well as their heart working harder to get the same amount of oxygen through their system as your regular guy... bright spot is they probably wrestle better at higher altitudes!?

 

Recommend:Advair discus.

This has reduced his dependency on his inhaler since he switched that and a little extra pressure to go to the gym after practice.

 

 

Noteable:

17% of the U.S. athletes who participated in the 1996 Olympics had asthma.

I also wrestled with asthma as well as football, basketball, soccer, whatever other sport I could do. You have made a very nice post. The extra cardio worked wonders for me staying extra time after practice bringing in old wrestlers to role around with for 30min-1hour. Also one thing that greatly helped me and I did not even try it until my senior year after getting beat in finals of challenges due to an attack. I went to the doctor and had him write me a prescription for albuterol solution and a nebulizer. He told me to take it at least 20 minutes before each match. That opened my lungs better than any inhaler ever did, and I never had to use my inhaler during a match. Plus it was able to get my off of two of the five inhalers he had me on. Again great post and some good sugestions. The key is hard work extra cardio and keeping control of your asthma.

Do you know cobrakid8 I dont think you do so why are you going to say he is on hear telling lies. Johnnybravo why dont you tell us what sports you play and how you overcame it by being retarded.

Ok what about people that play football and are in the band and do there little thing at halftime. o the capton of the short bus didn't think of that, my god your so retarded you dont even know your retarded you have a black belt in retardation.

Im done fighting with you about this i will catch you later

 

 

ive never heard of a football coach letting a team member participate in band. do you think halftime is just for players to catch their breath. theres a lot of coaching that goes on during that break. the only reason i can think a coach would let the kid stay in band was if he stunk and the coach didnt care if he werent at the halftime meeting. besides if he played like a player should he wouldnt want to waste his energy marching. i like the way youre acting like im too immature to argue with or something just b/c your scared to lose arguement.

I have wrestled with asthma since 6th grade, and since I've entered high school I have not needed my inhaler or any emergency medications.

 

I know I don't represent the norm, but it seems to me that wrestling has actually helped my asthma. But there is one person on my team who had to quit during the middle of a tournament to get a nebulizer treatment his asthma is so bad.

 

Hopefully all of the wrestlers with asthma will work their best in their regional and the state tournament to prove that, even with asthma, you can compete with the best in the state.

I suggest the two of you find some other way to deal with your SHORT comings. This is a serious subject. Not that the two of you take up much room, but there is no room for you here. Start a different thread if you want to wage your private war.

      Bearden Bulldogs 2024

      By Dawgz4life · Posted

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.

      An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.

      All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.

      No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
