Adaptation to Ozone in Individuals With Asthma/Exercise-induced Bronchoconstriction

Researchers found that impairments in the cardiopulmonary system caused by acute exposure to ozone were outweighed by repeated exposures to ozone. The goal of this study is to confirm there will be an adaptation similar to what was previously proved but in individuals with asthma and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). The purpose is to examine adaptive responses in a randomized cross-over trial in which physically active individuals will perform submaximal exercise on five days in ozone and filtered air exposures separated by a washout period.
