  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/exercise-induced-asthma-beyond-the-basics

  Exercise-induced asthma occurs when the airways narrow as a result of exercise. The preferred term for this condition is exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB); exercise does not cause asthma, but is frequently an asthma trigger. […] Exercise is important for your health, even if you have asthma, so it is important to develop a routine that allows exercise. Some patients can often prevent or reduce exercise-induced asthma symptoms by improving their day-to-day asthma control and improving their fitness level with regular exercise. […] Nonmedical preventive methods — Breathing cold, dry air during exercise can provoke asthma symptoms. Wearing a loosely fitting scarf or mask when exercising in cold, dry air or exercising where the air is warmer and more humid can help prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms. Some patients find that warm-up routines before intense exertion can help reduce asthma symptoms.

  Everyone needs to exercise, even people with asthma! A strong, healthy body is one of your best defenses against disease. But some people have asthma episodes during exercise. This is called exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. By taking steps to control your asthma, you should be able to exercise free of symptoms. […] If you have asthma symptoms during exercise or physical activity, you may have exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). In the past, it was called exercise-induced asthma. But that name wrongly suggests that exercise causes asthma. […] As many as 90% of all people who have asthma also have EIB. You can also have EIB even if you do not have asthma. […] Symptoms of EIB include: Cough, Shortness of breath, Wheeze (a whistling sound when you breathe), Chest tightness or pain, Fatigue during exercise, Decreased endurance or inability to complete exercise activities.

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/exercise-induced-asthma/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20372306

  To diagnose exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, your health care provider first takes a medical history and does a physical exam. You may have tests to check your lung function and rule out other conditions. […] Your health care provider might prescribe medicines to take shortly before exercise or to take daily for long-term control. […] If your provider prescribes a medicine to take before exercising, ask how much time you need between taking the medicine and starting the activity. […] You also can use preexercise medicines as a quick-relief treatment for symptoms. However, you shouldn’t need to use your preexercise inhaler more often than recommended. […] Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle for everyone, including most people with exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Besides taking your medicine, you can take these steps to prevent or reduce symptoms:

  Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is characterised by transient airway obstruction occurring after strenuous exertion. A fall of 10% or more in the FEV1 after exercise is diagnostic. […] Education regarding the nature and management of EIA is important not only for asthmatics but also for their families and coaches. With the proper precautions and workout techniques, there is no limit to what individuals with asthma can achieve in sports. […] Prevention is the main objective in managing EIA. Nonpharmacological measures include warming up before vigorous exertion, covering the mouth and nose in cold weather, exercising in warm, humidified environments if possible and warming down after exercise. Aerobic fitness and good control of baseline bronchial reactivity also help to diminish the effects of EIA.

• #1 Recognition and Management of Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm | AAFP

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2003/0215/p769.html

  Exercise-induced bronchospasm is an obstruction of transient airflow that usually occurs five to 15 minutes after physical exertion. […] Although this condition is highly preventable, it is still underrecognized and affects aerobic fitness and quality of life. […] A trial of therapy with an inhaled beta agonist may be instituted, with the subsequent addition of inhaled anti-inflammatory agents or ipratropium bromide. […] Nonpharmacologic measures, such as increased physical conditioning, warm-up exercises, and covering the mouth and nose, should be instituted. […] The goal of management is to prevent or reduce the symptoms of EIB, to enable patients to exercise at all intensity levels without serious respiratory limitations. […] Interventions should be tailored to the patient; a school-aged child participating in recreational and school activities should be treated differently from an elite athlete.

  Nurses can expect to have frequent contact with patients who have asthma. […] Exercise-induced asthma causes the same symptoms as any asthma exacerbation, though some patients also report sore throat and GI upset. […] Assess for activity triggers. Exercise-induced asthma causes a narrowing of the airways due to strenuous exercise. The nurse can assess for activities or sports the patient engages in that may be contributing to their asthma exacerbations. […] Plan for exercise. Exercise-induced asthma requires preparation to prevent attacks. Medication should be taken before engaging in exercise, a thorough warm-up prepares the lungs for vigorous exercise, and the patient should monitor their respiratory status closely and know when to stop or reduce their effort.

  I see this all the time with kids they say I wheeze all the time, says Dr. Colleen McGovern, an assistant professor in the School of Nursing. But thats not what we want. Our goal is for kids to be symptom free. […] McGovern emphasizes that it is important for children with these symptoms to be evaluated by a clinician and receive appropriate treatment for both the short and long term. […] Receiving an EIB diagnosis and appropriate treatment can unfortunately be an uphill battle for children, Marye and McGovern say. […] I want to get to these kids before they start ignoring their symptoms, she says. I want to teach them what their symptoms are, what to do, and not to ignore it. […] A child speaking up can be a key step. But schools, doctors, and families all play a role in making sure children receive the treatment they need to lead healthy, active lives on and off the playground.

  Preventing exercise-induced bronchoconstriction usually includes use of an inhaled medication prior to exercise. […] Rapid-acting bronchodilators — Inhalation of a rapid-acting bronchodilator (eg, two puffs of albuterol) may be taken 5 to 20 minutes before exercise. This inhaler can also be used to relieve symptoms caused by exercise. […] Long-acting bronchodilators — Long-acting bronchodilators (LABAs), such as salmeterol and formoterol, work for a longer period than rapid-acting bronchodilators. LABAs should always be used in combination with an inhaled glucocorticoid. […] Leukotriene modifiers — Leukotriene modifiers work by decreasing airway narrowing, inflammation, and mucus production. Examples of leukotriene modifiers include montelukast (brand name: Singulair) and zafirlukast (brand name: Accolate). These are taken in pill form by mouth once daily (montelukast) or twice daily (zafirlukast) and have few side effects.

• #1 Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise-induced_bronchoconstriction

  Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) occurs when the airways narrow as a result of exercise. This condition has been referred to as exercise-induced asthma (EIA); however, this term is no longer preferred. While exercise does not cause asthma, it is frequently an asthma trigger. […] The best treatment is avoidance of conditions predisposing to attacks, when possible. In athletes who wish to continue their sport or do so in adverse conditions, preventive measures include altered training techniques and medications. […] There is no evidence supporting different treatment for EIB in asthmatic athletes and nonathletes. The most common medication used is a beta agonist taken about 20 minutes before exercise. Some physicians prescribe inhaled anti-inflammatory mists such as corticosteroids or leukotriene antagonists, and mast cell stabilizers have also proven effective.

  The optimal treatment for EIA is to prevent the onset of symptoms. After controlling the patient’s underlying and contributing factors (eg, respiratory infection, allergy, allergic asthma), a combination of drugs can be used to prevent EIA. […] Treatment of the athlete who is experiencing an acute attack of EIA is the same as in any asthma attack situation and includes immediately removing the patient from competition or play. […] Provide immediate administration of a rapid onset, short-acting 2 -agonist (eg, albuterol); this has the highest therapeutic yield. […] If the initial response to treatment was adequate, patient observation and monitoring need to continue for several hours in case of a relapse. […] Although no clear-cut guidelines exist, a player who is removed from play for an asthma attack should be kept out of play until his or her respiration has normalized.

  Many kids and teens with asthma have symptoms when they exercise if their asthma is not well-controlled. But some people have asthma symptoms only during or after exercise. This is called exercise-induced asthma (EIA). The asthma symptoms happen because the airways tighten up (called bronchoconstriction) during exercise. This blocks the flow of air and makes it hard to breathe. […] The most important way to manage EIA and prevent symptoms is to make sure that a child’s asthma is under control, even when they aren’t exercising. This means avoiding triggers and taking asthma medicines as prescribed. […] When a person knows that exercise usually leads to asthma symptoms, a doctor will likely recommend that they take medicine before exercising or being very active. […] Exercise is a great idea for everyone, including people with exercise-induced asthma. Besides keeping kids and teens fit, exercise can improve lung function by strengthening the breathing muscles in the chest.

• #2 Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction (EIB) | ACAAI Public Website

  https://acaai.org/asthma/types-of-asthma/exercise-induced-bronchoconstriction-eib/

  Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, or EIB, is the preferred term for what was known for years as exercise-induced asthma. Symptoms develop when airways narrow as a result of physical activity. As many as 90 percent of people with asthma also have EIB, but not everyone with EIB has asthma. An allergist will customize a treatment plan that allows you to get back to the exercise you love, and feel better while doing it. […] EIB is caused by the loss of heat, water or both from the airways during exercise when quickly breathing in air that is drier than what is already in the body. Symptoms typically appear within a few minutes after you start exercising and may continue for 10 to 15 minutes after you finish your workout. […] An allergist can determine whether your symptoms are exercise-induced alone, are a reaction to allergens or irritants in the air, or are an indication of underlying asthma.

  https://phoenixchildrens.org/articles-faqs/blog/exercise-induced-asthma-and-its-imitators

  Regular exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, but in patients with poorly controlled asthma, exercise is a common trigger for asthma symptoms. […] EIB symptoms start 5-10 min after stopping intense activity but can happen during exercise as well. Typical symptoms are coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness. If untreated, it may take up to 30-90 minutes to recover. Exposure to specific triggers, e.g., cold air, pollen, etc. during exercise can exacerbate the asthma symptoms. […] Asthma symptoms during exercise can be controlled so that a person can be as active as his peers. A person can achieve this control by using a bronchodilator for 15-30 min before exercise as well as identifying and avoiding the triggers. Bronchodilators are the inhalers that help open airways, thus preventing any bronchospasm during exercise.

  Nurses can expect to have frequent contact with patients who have asthma. […] Exercise-induced asthma causes the same symptoms as any asthma exacerbation, though some patients also report sore throat and GI upset. […] Assess for activity triggers. Exercise-induced asthma causes a narrowing of the airways due to strenuous exercise. The nurse can assess for activities or sports the patient engages in that may be contributing to their asthma exacerbations. […] Plan for exercise. Exercise-induced asthma requires preparation to prevent attacks. Medication should be taken before engaging in exercise, a thorough warm-up prepares the lungs for vigorous exercise, and the patient should monitor their respiratory status closely and know when to stop or reduce their effort.

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2003/0215/p769.html

  Patients, and anyone involved in their care, should be educated about the nature of EIB, its triggers, and how to control it with or without medications. […] Physical conditioning increases a patient’s ability to work at a lower level of vital capacity, decreasing the cooling and drying stimuli, resulting in less bronchospasm. […] Inhaled beta agonists are first-line medications in the management of EIB, both as prophylaxis and to treat the bronchospasm that occurs with exercise. […] A short-acting beta agonist should be taken 15 minutes before exercise and may be repeated as necessary. […] Inhaled corticosteroids have been demonstrated to be useful in the treatment of EIB. […] The diagnosis and treatment of EIB is both simple and immensely rewarding for the family physician and the patient.
