title: Exercise as a bronchodilator.
abstract: In "Notes on Asthma" published in 1873, John Thorowgood stated that "daily exercise in the open air should not be neglected, and several cases testify to the effect of a steady walk in preventing an attack of asthma even when it already threatens". Similarly, Salter (1868) suggested that he was "puzzled by the fact" that exercise appeared to help some of his patients. From what we know today, it may be suggested that these patients were in fact, benefiting from the bronchodilation caused by exercise.
