Dharini Bhammar (Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences) received a Developmental Research Program grant from the IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence for her research study “Reducing exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in obese asthmatic children.” Her work will establish the effectiveness of interval warm-up exercise for preventing exercise-induced asthma, and will uncover obesity-related mechanisms for breathing problems among obese asthmatic children. The study may provide recommendations for reducing exercise-induced asthma and increasing physical activity levels among obese asthmatic children.
