Study of 107 college athletes showing 39% prevalence of EIB using EVH testing. Importantly, demonstrated that 36% of athletes who did not complain of symptoms were ElB-positive after objective testing that identifies a potentially significant population of silent EIB who may be at increased risk due to lack of perception of bronchospasm.
