The U.S. Olympic Team demonstrated a significant prevalence of Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm (EIB) among world-class athletes (11.2). Nearly all sports were involved but endurance events seemed to have the highest prevalence of team members with EIB. Resting pulmonary function studies were poor discriminators of athletes affected with EIB. The 67 athletes of the 597 member team were responsible for winning 41 Olympic medals including 15 golds and 21 silvers, clearly demonstrating their ability to compete and succeed in world-class competitive events. These results should send a strong message to young people that they can strive to excel in sports with proper medication and management.
美国奥运代表队在世界级运动员中表现出运动诱发支气管痉挛(EIB)的显著患病率(11.2)。几乎所有运动项目都有涉及,但耐力项目的队员中EIB患病率似乎最高。静息肺功能研究对受EIB影响的运动员鉴别能力较差。597名队员组成的团队中有67名运动员赢得了41枚奥运奖牌,其中包括15枚金牌和21枚银牌,清楚地展示了他们在世界级比赛中竞争和取得成功的能力。这些结果应该向年轻人发出一个强烈的信号,即通过适当的药物治疗和管理,他们可以努力在体育方面取得优异成绩。
