Exercise-induced bronchospasm is a medical deterrent to an athlete's natural ability to perform. The U.S. Olympic Committee has met the challenge of recognizing and dealing with this common yet unappreciated medical complication aggravated by athletic exertion. Prior to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games the U.S. Olympic Committee developed a screening program to identify members of its Olympic team who suffered from asthma or exercise-induced bronchospasm. The screening identified 67 of 597 Olympic athletes with asthma or exercise-induced bronchospasm. Coordination of medical care by contact between members of the American Academy of Allergy and Immunology, the U.S. Olympic Committee Chief Medical Officer, the athlete's personal physician, and the athlete was done. Medications approved for use in these conditions by the International Olympic Committee Medical Commission policies were prescribed. Forty-one medals were won by this group of handicapped athletes. Their example will raise the hopes and aspirations of countless young allergic and asthmatic children who dream of the thrills and health benefits of physical performance at almost any level of competition.
运动诱发的支气管痉挛是阻碍运动员发挥自身天然能力的一个医学因素。美国奥林匹克委员会已应对了这样一项挑战，即识别并处理这种因运动强度加大而出现的常见却未得到充分认识的医学并发症。在1984年洛杉矶奥运会之前，美国奥林匹克委员会制定了一项筛查计划，以确定其奥运代表队中患有哮喘或运动诱发支气管痉挛的成员。该筛查在597名奥运选手中识别出67名患有哮喘或运动诱发支气管痉挛的运动员。美国过敏与免疫学会成员、美国奥林匹克委员会首席医疗官、运动员的私人医生以及运动员之间通过联系进行医疗护理协调。按照国际奥委会医学委员会政策批准用于这些情况的药物得以开出。这群有身体障碍的运动员共赢得了41枚奖牌。他们的榜样将提升无数患有过敏症和哮喘的年轻儿童的希望与抱负，这些孩子梦想着在几乎任何比赛水平上体验身体运动带来的刺激并从中受益于健康。
