Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) refers to the transient narrowing of the airways that follows
vigorous exercise. The mechanism whereby EIA occurs is thought to relate to the …

We believe that it is the loss of water per se and not heat loss that is the most important
stimulus to exercise-induced asthma (EIA). The evidence to support this concept comes from …

Bronchoconstriction associated with exercise can occur in nearly all individuals with asthma
and in 35-40% of those with allergic rhinitis/hay fever symptoms. This represents …

There has been some controversy regarding the mechanism whereby exercise can provoke
an attack of asthma. It is generally agreed that heat and water are lost from the respiratory …

In 1962 Jones and colleagues' reported that patients with asthma changed their FEY, in
response to vigorous exercise. During the first few minutes of running, the FEY, increased …

EIA describes the transitory increase in airway resistance that occurs after 6 to 8 minutes of
strenuous exercise in 70% to 80% of people with asthma. In the laboratory EIA is defined as …

Exercise-induced asthma, as recognized in asthmatic subjects, is an exaggerated airway
response to airway dehydration in the presence of inflammatory cells and their mediators …

To compare the importance of water loss with heat loss in the mechanism of exercise-
induced asthma (EIA), we conditioned the air inspired during exercise to the same water …

Exercise-induced asthma was studied in 8 asthmatics using various conditions of inspired
air during exercise. The exercise consisted of walking on a treadmill for 10 min, with a speed …

Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is characterised by transient airway obstruction occurring
after strenuous exertion. A fall of 10% or more in the FEV 1 after exercise is diagnostic …
