If you have asthma and allergies, depending on season or pollen count, you might have tried to avoid exercising at certain times or completely avoid exercising outside. Agility Training can help allergies and asthma by improving cardiorespiratory output.
Exercise can be beneficial to those who suffer from respiratory allergies by increasing respiratory output. In a study published in the National Library of Medicine, exercise asthma symptoms were improved by exercise. This could be due to the increased strength of the abdominal wall causing a higher vital capacity. That is the maximum amount of air that can be forced out of your lungs.
If you exercise before nasal allergies are too bad your nose can act as a filter by warming the cooler air and removing the allergens before they irritate you by entering your lungs. The strong blood flow created by a healthy cardiovascular system will also help speed the removal of irritants from your system, lessening the time you may suffer from allergy problems. The same increase in cardiac output will also make help your body defend itself from common viruses such as the cold and flu.
Agility Training involves all aspects of fitness: speed, power, conditioning, and flexibility. Through power and speed training you will increase your cardiac output. You can increase your power with strength and plyometric exercises, such as box jumps. Speed is increased by adding intervals or short bursts of fast turnover to your aerobic workout. The power you build will help your speed drills. All of these add up to conditioning, which will help to increase your work capacity; this will be apparent as your cardiac output increases and you are less fatigued with more work. Flexibility helps to keep your joints supple and strong.
