Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction by ethnicity and presence of asthma in British nine year olds.
BACKGROUND The prevalence of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction among British children by ethnicity has not been studied. METHODS Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was measured before and after an exercise challenge test using a cycle ergometer in 593 nine year olds from Scottish and inner city English schools. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to assess the association between ch...
متن کاملIs Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction Exercise-Induced Asthma?
The article in this issue of RESPIRATORY CARE by Burnett et al1 reports that 34 of 80 college athletes had exerciseinduced bronchoconstriction (EIB), most in the absence of symptoms. The authors further suggest that these athletes are at risk and that the identification of those with EIB may prevent morbidity and mortality. The implication is that the presence of EIB is evidence for asthma. But...
متن کاملAsthma and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in athletes.
Regular exercise is one of the most effective means to maintain good health. A substantial proportion of the general population engages in competitive sports, including many people with asthma; when controlled, asthma does not restrict exercise performance. Indeed, exercise training can improve asthma symptoms, quality of life, exercise capacity, and pulmonary function, as well as reduce airway...
متن کاملAsthma Bronchiale and Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction.
Exercising regularly has a wide range of beneficial health effects; in particular, it has been well documented to help in the management of chronic illnesses including asthma. However, in some individuals, exertion can also trigger an exacerbation of asthmatic episodes and subsequent acute attacks of breathlessness, coughing, tightness of the chest and wheezing. This physiological process is ca...
متن کاملExercise-induced bronchoconstriction: Asthma in athletes
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) describes a condition of hyperpnea-triggered airway narrowing that occurs in susceptible individuals during or after physical exercise. The pathogenesis of EIB is multifactorial and not completely understood, but it seems that inflammation of the airways plays a major role. EIB is present in a large number of otherwise healthy athletes. Studies suggest...
