Intense exercise and airway hyper-responsiveness/asthma--importance of environmental factors
Fitch, K., Anderson, S. Thu, 05 Apr 2012 00:30:04 -0700
Exercise has a paradoxical relationship to asthma. It has been known for nearly 2000 years that exercise can provoke bronchoconstriction,1 termed exercise-induced bronchoconstriction or exercise-induced asthma. Yet exercise has also been prescribed to assist in the management of asthma as long ago as the middle of the 16th century.2 Over the last two decades, evidence has been accumulating that intense repeated exercise can injure airways and promote the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and/or asthma in athletes with no past or family history of asthma.3 This issue of BJSM will focus on the third aspect of this triad. Concerned that Olympic athletes may have been misusing inhaled β2 agonists (IBA), in 2002 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) introduced the requirement that athletes had to demonstrate current asthma/AHR to use IBA before an event at the Olympic Games.4 It is stressed that...
Respiratory physiology: adaptations to high-level exercise
McKenzie, D. C. Thu, 05 Apr 2012 00:30:04 -0700
Most exercise scientists would agree that the physiological determinants of peak endurance performance include the capacity to transport oxygen to the working muscle, diffusion from the muscle to the mitochondria, energy production and force generation, all influenced by signals from the central nervous system. In general, the capacity of the pulmonary system far exceeds the demands required for ventilation and gas exchange during exercise. Endurance training induces large and significant adaptations within the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and haematological systems. However, the structural and functional properties of the lung and airways do not change in response to repetitive physical activity and, in elite athletes, the pulmonary system may become a limiting factor to exercise at sea level and altitude. As a consequence to this respiratory paradox, highly trained athletes may develop intrathoracic and extrathoracic obstruction, expiratory flow limitation, respiratory muscle fatigue and exercise-induced hypoxaemia. All of these maladaptations may influence performance.
