“…These differences, in the site of breathing discomfort, are consistent with previous literature (17) and may indicate the presence of upper airway closure precipitating dyspnoea and more specifically may indicate the presence of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO); a mimic of asthma caused by closure of the laryngeal inlet, which does not respond to asthma medication (18)(19)(20)(21).…”

“…This means that 56 (75%) would have not been tested if the exercise challenge was done on only those participants who responded that they had EIA symptoms in the questionnaire. This finding is in line with other studies that have found that negative EIA symptoms do not necessarily exclude EIA (10,28,31).…”

“…15 Regardless of the variability seen with the prevalence of EIB in athletic populations, a previous workgroup reported a substantial EIB prevalence (30 -70%) in athletic populations using a variety of diagnostic methods. 3 Given the significant prevalence of EIB reported in most studies it is critical to pursue an accessible testing method for accurately diagnosing athletes once they are screened for potential EIB. In the current study, an 80 of 85 (94%) success rate was achieved while adhering to a strict standardized EIB testing protocol that may be duplicated at many college institutions.…”

“…Exercise and physical training can trigger bronchoconstriction, causing symptoms of EIB in 80 -90% of people with asthma, 1 and it has been shown that 10% of the population without asthma may experience symptoms related to EIB. 2,3 Moreover, previous studies reported that EIB was 3-5 times more prevalent in athletes when compared with the general population. [4][5][6] Morbidity associated with EIB is speculated to originate from reoccurring episodes of inflammation during repeated bouts of exercise, leading to airway remodeling and chronic irreversible airway obstruction.…”

BACKGROUND: Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) can lead to long-term respiratory illness and even death. EIB prevalence rates are both high and variable in college athletes. Prevalence rates may be underestimated due to ineffective testing and screening. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of EIB in college athletes by a standardized EIB test that can be used on many college campuses. In addition, we assessed the usefulness of self-reporting EIB/asthma (1) history, (2) symptoms, and (3) respiratory medication obtained from a simple screening questionnaire for predicting an EIB-positive athlete. METHODS: A standardized EIB test and self-report questionnaire were administered to college athletes on 10 different sports teams. Information collected included pulmonary function (spirometry), expired gas analysis (maximal oxygen uptake), CO 2 production, minute ventilation, EIB/asthma history, current symptoms, and medication use. RESULTS: Results showed that 34 of 80 athletes (42.5%) were EIB-positive by standardized exercise testing. The majority (76.5 and 58.8%) of the 34 athletes who tested positive self-reported a negative history or no symptoms, respectively. Also, 79.4% of the athletes who tested positive for EIB reported not using a respiratory medication. There were no significant differences in a positive EIB test when assessing interactions for history (P ‫؍‬ .93), current symptoms (P ‫؍‬ .12), or respiratory medication use (P ‫؍‬ .66). CONCLUSIONS: A high proportion of college athletes tested positive for EIB when using a standardized test. Positive history, current symptoms of EIB/asthma, and respiratory medication use were not predictive of a positive test. Many EIB-positive athletes are not using a respiratory medication. More work is needed to develop an effective screening tool and improve education for EIB in college athletes.
