This is no knew news. This has been rather well accepted for at least 20 years in the medical world. I have moderate/severe asthma. I have huge lungs that don't always work so well. There are also studies that show that nonasthmatics receive no extra benefits from taking most drugs asthmatics use.
A few years ago there was a great study published in one of the English medical magazines that details about a study that showed that asthmatic swimmers had specific changes to their lung structure that asthmatics who did not swim didn't have. Nonasthmatics who swim don't have nor do nonashtmatics who swim have these special structures. If i remember correctly it discussed how the shape of the cells of the smallest airways change their shape and th eair bags in the lung change also. This then causes the lung shape to change, especially the right lung and the lowest lobe.
