In collaboration with De Montfort University, participants will be involved from the DMU Square Mile area. This will involve in-depth interviews with 30-35 non-elite sportspeople/servious exercisers with asthma, together with a focus group comprised of 4-5 GPs, asthma nurses and other health professionals involved in the provision of asthma care and treatment.
