在臺灣氣喘是一種相當普遍遺傳疾病，由於發病時會有急速喘息、呼吸困難之病兆，致使國人認為患有氣喘者不能從事運動，在因果循環之下造成患者身體狀況無法獲得改善，間接導致病情加重。然而氣喘只是一種障礙，並不會限制一個人先天的運動能力，根據統計在1984年洛杉磯奧運會597位選手中有67位患有運動誘發性氣喘，其中更41位獲得獎牌(15金、21銀、5銅)，因此只要在理想的運動環境下，甚至在必要時配合藥物控制，從事適當的運動訓練對氣喘患者更具有正面的醫療價值。此外，氣喘也是學童最常見的慢性病，有關氣喘的知識與處理是每位老師所要具備的知能；加上逐年增加的發生率與嚴重性，不但加重家庭的負擔，也耗費了相當多的醫療及社會成本，為了增加對氣喘的認識，加強教育的工作者的氣喘衛教應是時勢所趨。
