This article presents five poems from five different participants from the interview transcripts of UK-resident South Asian adults with asthma, who have engaged in or currently participate in sport and/or exercise. A poetic representation of participants’ words was completed, which focused on the visceral experiences of asthma, sport and/or exercise and their South Asian culture. The poetic representations demonstrate the personal resignation to having asthma and the fear of death, and the effect asthma has on the participants’ sporting lives. For three participants, the use of non-pharmacological treatments related to their South Asian ethnic and/or cultural identity is explored. Alongside the five poems, this article examined the usefulness of poetic representations and proposes greater engagement with creative approaches in the field of asthma and sport and/or exercise research in the UK-resident South Asian population.
