chronically to airborne pollutants/irritants or allergens, are at increased risk for upper and …

Regular physical activity is recognized as an effective health promotion measure. Among
various activities, swimming is preferred by a large portion of the population. Although …

Objective To report the prevalence of lower airway dysfunction in athletes and highlight risk
factors and susceptible groups. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources …

Endurance athletes show an increased prevalence of airway hyperresponsiveness. The aim
of the present study was to evaluate the long-term effects of training on airway …

During transition from rest to exercise, metabolic reaction rates increase substantially to
sustain intracellular ATP use. These metabolic demands activate several kinases that initiate …

BACKGROUND: Airway disorders are common in regular chlorinated swimming pool
attendees, particularly competitive athletes, but the impact of intense swimming training on …

This study was aimed at the following:(1) the prevalence of airway hyperresponsiveness
(AHR) and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in swimmers and winter sport …

Elite competitive swimmers are particularly affected by airway disorders that are probably
related to regular and intense training sessions in a chlorinated environment. Upper and …

Background Despite the health benefits of swimming as a form of exercise, evidence exists
that both the swimming pool environment and endurance exercise are etiologic factors in the …

Exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is exaggerated constriction of the airways
usually soon after cessation of exercise. This is most often a response to airway dehydration …
