Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is a common condition affecting a significant portion of individuals with asthma.
  • Symptoms manifest during or after moderate to intense physical activity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the prevalence and symptoms of EIA in athletes.
  • To emphasize management strategies enabling athletic participation and success.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on exercise-induced asthma prevalence and symptoms in athletes.
  • Analysis of management strategies including education, warm-up, and pre-treatment medication.

Main Results:

  • Nearly all asthmatics experience EIA during moderate to heavy exercise.
  • Up to 14% of athletes are affected by EIA, presenting with dyspnea, coughing, chest tightness, and wheezing.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of EIA is achievable through comprehensive strategies.
  • Athletes with EIA can participate in and excel at high-level competitions with appropriate interventions.
