Exercise capacity and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in a cold environment.
INTRODUCTION Exercise in a cold environment has been reported to increase exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). However, the effect of a cold environment upon exercise capacity in subjects with EIB has, to our knowledge, not been previously reported. PURPOSE Primary: To examine the influence of changing environmental temperature upon exercise capacity measured by peak oxygen uptake (VO(...
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 کاملThe Effect of High Intensity Interval Exercise in High / Low Temperatures on Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction (EIB) in Trained Adolescent Males
BACKGROUND Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) describes airway narrowing that occurs in association with exercise. Exercise in hot and cold environments has been reported to increase exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in subjects with asthma. However, to our knowledge, the effect of hot and cold environment on pulmonary function and EIB in trained males has not been previously s...
متن کاملExercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is defined as transient, reversible bronchoconstriction that develops after strenuous exercise. If exercise is the only identified trigger for bronchoconstriction, it is called EIB. However, when it is associated with known asthma, then it is defined as EIB with asthma. The role of atopy in the pathogenesis of EIB has not been determined. In this issue...
متن کاملExercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction and Exercise-Induced Respiratory Symptoms in Nurses
In order to assess prevalence and characteristics of exercise-induced respiratory symptoms (EIRSs) and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in health care workers, we performed a cross-sectional study including 48 female nurses from primary care settings and an equal number of female office workers studied as a control group. The evaluation of examined groups included completion of a ques...
