Summary

High-performance athletes with exercise-induced respiratory symptoms, especially those with hay fever, often receive inadequate diagnosis and treatment. Smoking cessation is recommended for athletes with respiratory issues and atopy.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Exercise Physiology

Context:

  • Bronchial asthma prevalence is similar in elite athletes and the general population.
  • A survey of 2060 national/international athletes identified exercise-related respiratory symptoms in 7.1%.
  • Athletes with hay fever are significantly more prone to exercise-induced respiratory symptoms.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the prevalence of exercise-related respiratory symptoms in high-performance athletes.
  • To assess the diagnostic and therapeutic management of these athletes.
  • To identify factors associated with inadequate care.

Summary:

  • 146 athletes (7.1%) reported exercise-induced deep respiratory symptoms.
  • 80% of these athletes had insufficient diagnostic workups or inappropriate/absent treatment.
  • Inadequate treatment was noted even for athletes with co-existing hay fever, despite known increased bronchial irritability during pollen season.

Impact:

  • Highlights a significant gap in the diagnosis and management of exercise-induced respiratory conditions in elite athletes.
  • Underscores the need for tailored treatment strategies, particularly for athletes with comorbidities like hay fever.
  • Recommends smoking abstinence for athletes with respiratory problems and atopy to mitigate symptoms.
