title: Prevalence of exercise-induced bronchospasm in long distance runners trained in cold weather.
abstract: We investigated whether regular training in cold weather has an effect on the development of exercise-induced bronchospasm. Nineteen sedentary males and 20 male long distance runners who were regularly training in Erzurum participated in this study. They had no history of asthma, atopy or allergic rhinitis. Pre- and post-exercise spirometry was performed in the participants in room temperature. EIB was defined as at least a > or =10% fall in FEV1 or a > or =15% fall in FEF(25-75%) or a > or =25% fall in PEFR. EIB was established in 7 of 20 athletes and in 1 of 19 sedentaries. Prevalence of EIB will be higher even if it is established in room temperature when training for the sports like long distance running which is not a cold weather sport. We conclude that it will be more convenient to establish EIB in room temperature and in the laboratory since the exercise test and spirometry can be performed more accurately under more standard conditions.
