Abstract

Exercise induced bronchospasm is acute and transient airway narrowing occurs usually 5-10 minutes after exercise. The main factor causing EIB is the loose of water from respiratory tract by evaporation induced by hyperventilation as a result of exercise. Over-diagnosis of EIB between elite athletes contributed to search for objective methods to identify EIB. At present there are many methods, both direct and indirect designed to identify exercise-induced bronchospasm. One of them is eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea, which has been recognized as an objective and optimal method for diagnosis of EIB.
