He gives the impression of suffocating … .It does not resemble shortness of breath due to the effort. J e warn the school nurse and I'll probably call x firefighters . "  

 

              Observation of the child : “ I have the impression that my chest is tightening. That anguish me ... J e no longer able to find the air or to blow. "  

 

              Parents' observation : “ he starts to cough and feels oppressed. His lungs are wheezing and the attacks may be short-lived or last for several days. "   

 

              Many students with asthma do not or rarely participate in sports activities at school and believe, wrongly, that they are not recommended . The observation of the child in crisis and the idea that asthma can be a danger during the practice of a physical activity push some parents to ask the teacher of Physical Education and Sports to exempt the pupil from lessons. , see e to ask the doctor for a sports certificate. The asthmatic pupil, aware of his handicap, accepts all the more easily that it allows him not to show a physical " inferiority " to the other comrades and to evacuate an anxiety linked to the appearance of a crisis generated by the patient. playing sports at school. 

 

              The medical certificate , as recalled in the official instructions, dispenses more be present in PE classes., The evolution of our discipline today allows us to offer content and assessments that adapt to all students . The EPS should then to find ways to encourage physical participation of the student being asthmatic.

              Integrating an asthmatic student, c ' is him giving odds of success , foster social integration, reduce its " disability " and / or better control, change negative views related to asthma and to sport. P our c e do, it seems necessary to know what asthma. 

 

Set this disability and how he says , should allow to find solutions that will help the students to have experiences has daptées its possibilities.

So everyone will find something to express themselves. Professor n ' will feel no apprehension to f area involved a student present ant the " risk " (controlled) related to the practice and involving liability. The student can without fear participate in a thoughtful , " preventive " and rewarding physical activity . Faced with a constant worsening of the number of asthmatics in our society, PSE can be a very valuable help in helping students to better cope with their asthma and allow them to practice beneficial physical activity . Our discipline then participates directly in the management of the physical life of students with asthma.
