Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) without asthma and non-allergic rhinitis is frequently reported in athletes who are facing high-risk of airway dysfunctions such as elite swimmers. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of exercise on nasal and pulmonary functions, additionally to determine the prevalence of EIB and rhinitis in adolescent elite swimmers.
