RESUMO
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a concern that frequently affects athletes and regular exercisers. The main objective of this systematic review is to study recently published literature that evaluated the risk of EIB among adolescent athletes with asthma. PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, EBSCO, SCOPUS, Wiley, and Cochrane Library were searched. Study articles were screened by title and abstract using Rayyan QCRI then a full-text assessment was implemented. A total of ten studies with 3129 adolescent athletic subjects were included in this review. The prevalence of EIB ranged from 2.1% to 61%. Most studies have demonstrated that athletes in their adolescence suffer from EIB, which requires regular management. Two studies have reported that low-income communities and humidity levels are risk factors for EIB. We found that EIB is frequent among adolescent athletes. The prevalence varies between countries due to different social and environmental factors.
