Athletes with exercise-related dyspnea exhibit similar cardiopulmonary exercise test changes regardless of EIB diagnosis, indicating dyspnea may result from other ventilatory adaptations.
Do cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) parameters differ in young athletes with exercise-induced dyspnea based on the presence or absence of an exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) diagnosis?
Dyspnea in young athletes may not always be due to exercise-induced bronchoconstriction but could result from other ventilatory adaptations, with OUES and peak VO2 serving as useful indicators for evaluation.

While EIB affects ventilatory function, athletes with exercise-related dyspnea exhibited similar CPET changes regardless of EIB diagnosis. This suggests that dyspnea in young athletes may not always be due to EIB but could result from other ventilatory adaptations. OUES and peak VO2 may serve as useful indicators in evaluating dyspnea-related exercise limitations.
