Controversies and New Hypotheses on Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm in Hot and Humid Air

“…A recent work by [14] seems consistent with this strategy, as these authors highlighted a low prevalence of EIB of 7% among 54 Brazilian semi-professional football players in hot and humid climates. In contrast, previous studies by Messan et al [15], Ouattara et al [17] and Agodokpessi et al [18] found prevalence values of 42% and 42% in Ivorian and African basketball players, respectively, under hot and humid air conditions. However, the physiological adaptation of subjects to cold and dry air conditions, on the one hand, and hot and humid air conditions, on the other hand, can exacerbate or attenuate the occurrence of EIB.…”

“…In another study carried out in Abidjan in the Ivory Coast, Ouattara et al [17] reported an asthma prevalence of 42.6% obtained after a stress test, with a Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV) of at least 10% for sportsmen in hot (30.1 °C) and wet (82.6%) climates. Agodokpessi et al [18] found an asthma prevalence of 40% among African athletes in the hot and humid climate of Benin. Therefore, in…”
