dc.description | Diagnosis of EIB requires the use of an exercise test. The exercise can be a field or laboratory based test, but
should be of relatively high int ensity (80 to 90% of maximal heart rate) and duration (at lest 5 to 8 minutes).
Pre- and post-exercise pulmonary function should be compared, and post exercise pulmonary function
determined over 20 to 30 minutes for characterisation of EIB. A pre- to post-exercise drop in of greater than
10% is abnormal. approaches to treatment of EIB include both nonpharmacological and pharmacological
strategies. A light exercise warm up prior to moderate to heavy exercise reduces the severity of EIB. More
recently, studies have supported a role for dietary salt as a modifier of the severity of EIB, suggesting that
salt restrictive diets should reduce symptoms of EIB. Short acting, inhaled β2-agonists constitute the most
used prophylactic treatment for EIB. However, antileukotriene agents are emerging as effective, well
tolerated, long-term treatments for EIB. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Exercise-induced asthma, or more appropriately, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), occurs in 80
to 90% of individuals with asthma and in approximately 11% of the general population without asthma. EIB
is characterised by post-exercise airways obstruction resulting in reductions in forced expiratory volume in 1
second of greater than 10% compared with pre-exercise values. The mechanism of EIB remains elusive,
although both cooling and drying of airways play prominent roles. Cold, dry inhaled air during exercise or
voluntary hyperventilation is the most potent stimulus for EIB. Inflammatory mediators play central roles in
causing the post-exercise airways obstruction | en_US |
