Early recognition and management of exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) enable children and adolescents to participate in sports. Diagnosis involves questionnaires and exercise challenge tests, with management including nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic strategies.

Area of Science:

Pediatrics
Sports Medicine
Pulmonology

Background:

Exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) can limit physical activity in children and adolescents.
Early diagnosis and management are crucial for enabling participation in sports and physical activities.

Purpose of the Study:

To review diagnostic methods for EIB.
To outline nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic management strategies for EIB.
To discuss the use of EIB medications in athletic competition.

Main Methods:

Diagnosis relies on patient history (coughing, chest congestion, decreased exercise performance).
Systematic questionnaires can identify individuals with EIB.
Exercise challenge tests (treadmill, cycloergometer) confirm exercise-induced bronchospasm.

Main Results:

Nonpharmacologic management includes warm-ups, rebreathing masks, and anaerobic fitness training.
Pharmacologic options include cromolyn sodium, beta-adrenergic agonists, theophylline, ipratroprium bromide, calcium channel blockers, and terfenadine.
Approved medications can be used in national and international competitions.

Conclusions:

Effective management of EIB allows children and adolescents to fully engage in physical activities.
A combination of diagnostic tools and tailored management strategies is essential.
Pharmacologic treatments are viable options for athletes with EIB, subject to regulatory approval.
