abstract：:Airway obstruction (AO) in exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is considered a postexercise phenomenon. However, many with EIA complain of respiratory distress during exercise. We evaluated AO in six asthmatic subjects during a short (SX = 6 min) and a long (LX = 20 min) exercise session. We measured peak expiratory flow (P...
