Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Exercise and physical activity are common triggers of symptoms in patients with asthma, although some individuals - especially athletes - may have symptoms with exercise alone. Exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) describes airway hyper-reactivity that is observed following exercise in a patient who is not otherwise diagnosed with asthma; exercise-induced asthma (EIA) describes airway hyper-reactivity associated with exercise in a patient who has persistent asthma. Specific challenges affecting both the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions are discussed in this review. The past decade has seen substantial advances in our understanding of EIA and EIB, including new guidelines on their management. With appropriate therapy, all patients with exercise-related symptoms should be able to reach their desired level of performance.
