Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) occurs commonly in patients with asthma but also can affect individuals without asthma. EIB is particularly common in populations of athletes. Common symptoms include cough, dyspnea, chest tightness, and wheezing; however, there can be a variety of more subtle symptoms. In this article, the clinical presentation of EIB as well as the diagnosis and treatment of EIB are outlined.

Background: Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is common in children with asthma but can be present also in children without asthma, especially athletes. Differential diagnosis includes several conditions such as exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO), cardiac disease, or physical deconditioning. Detailed medical history, clinical examination and specific tests are mandatory to exclude alternative diagnoses.

Objectives: The clinical consequences of coronavirus infection in elite judokas with exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) are unclear. We aimed to determine potential respiratory function abnormalities and recovery in athletes with and without EIB after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), a reversible airflow obstruction triggered by exercise, should be considered in patients presenting with symptoms of dyspnea, cough, wheeze, and chest tightness during or after vigorous exercise. Over the past several years, various diagnostic modalities have been developed and evaluated for the diagnosis of EIB, giving the clinician multiple options for diagnostic testing. Here, the authors present a review of the various testing options that can be used in the diagnosis of EIB, with a discussion of testing protocols and considerations for choosing the appropriate diagnostic test.

Article Synopsis
- Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) can occur independently or alongside asthma, and its development is influenced by a variety of factors.
- Environmental elements such as climate, allergens, air pollution, and altitude can exacerbate EIB symptoms.
- Educating patients about how these environmental factors affect their condition may help them manage symptoms better and enhance their ability to exercise.

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) refers to temporary lower airway narrowing that occurs during or after vigorous physical exertion, with a high incidence in athletes and individuals with pre-existing asthma. The pathophysiology of EIB is not completely understood, but it is thought to involve a complex interplay among airway epithelial changes, immune responses, and environmental interactions. Phenotypic differences are apparent among those affected by EIB.
