Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) affects many athletes, including up to 90% of those with asthma. This review covers EIB

Area of Science:

  • Sports medicine
  • Pulmonary medicine
  • Exercise physiology

Background:

  • Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is airway narrowing during exercise.
  • EIB affects up to 90% of asthmatics and over 10% of the general population.
  • Asthma is a risk factor for sudden death, with EIB implicated in fatalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on EIB in athletes.
  • To discuss the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of EIB.
  • To identify athletes at higher risk for EIB.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific articles on EIB in athletes.
  • Synthesis of information on EIB mechanisms, identification, and management.
  • Analysis of risk factors for EIB in athletic populations.

Main Results:

  • EIB is common in athletes, particularly those with asthma.
  • Pathogenesis involves airway cooling and drying during exercise.
  • Diagnosis relies on exercise challenge tests; treatment includes pre-exercise medication.

Conclusions:

  • EIB is a significant concern for athletes' health and performance.
  • Understanding risk factors and implementing proper management is crucial.
  • Further research is needed to optimize EIB treatment strategies in athletes.
