Allergic conditions unique to the sporting arena may serve as an impediment to participation in physical activity for allergic children.
Some examples include:
- exercise-induced asthma (very common)
- food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis
- exercise-induced anaphylaxis
- exercise-induced urticaria
Allergic children may also be at risk when exposed to allergens that are commonly found in the sports environment, e.g., latex, sports drinks, and medications such as NSAIDs. Specific physical factors may result in diminished allergen tolerance.
