Curr Sports Med Rep. 2009 Mar-Apr;8(2):45-6. doi: 10.1249/JSR.0b013e31819c7b28.

Abstract

Exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) is a relatively common condition that affects both recreational and elite athletes. The latest data suggest that it is an inflammatory process, especially in elite athletes. Proper diagnosis is important to differentiate EIB from other respiratory conditions. Effective treatment usually controls this condition.
