It has long been recognized, even during biblical times, that physical exercise may induce asthma symptoms in susceptible individuals.1 Nevertheless, the term exercise-induced asthma (EIA) only became popular in the 1960s and 1970s when several reports addressed the pattern of airway response to exercise and the influence of drugs on EIA, particularly in children.2,3 Subsequently, reports of studies of the mechanisms causing EIA4 often asserted that EIA represents a distinct clinical category of asthma.
