The cycloergometer as a system for studying exercise-induced asthma.

Abstract

Although bicycle exercise induces less asthma than does treadmill running, the cycloergometer offers definite advantages for quantitative testing of bronchospastic response, extensive knowldge of normal responses, lack of training artifact, and ease of physiologic monitoring. Using maximal heart rate to tailor the exercise load to a given subject, reliable responses can be obtained from subjects as young as 7 years old. To obtain such results, diurnal variations in response to exercise, resting bronchial tone, and previous medication must be controlled, and pulmonary function measurements must be taken frequently after exercise.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
