Study 1: Summary & Conclusions
• Despite highly variable pre-exercise airway function:– Exercise ventilation similar– Significant exercise-induced bronchodilation
• Allows for adequate exercise ventilatory response
In mild-to-moderate asthma, the pulmonary system is robustly responsive to increased demand for airflow during whole-body exercise
• Mechanisms for exercise bronchodilation???– Lung mechanical mechanisms
• Current studies
The airways are embedded within the lung parenchyma
Weibel, Am J Respir Crit Care Med, vol 187, 2013
Airways tethered open by lung parenchyma
Study 2: Purpose & Hypothesis
• Purpose: Determine effects of lung inflation on airway diameter during whole-body exercise in asthmatic adults
• Hypothesis: Increased ventilation and tidal volume – and thus lung inflation – provides the principle physiological stimulus for changes in airway diameter during exercise in asthmatic adults

Summary• Bronchodilation occurs during whole-body exercise in the
asthmatic adult– Allows for adequate exercise ventilation despite variable baseline
lung function
• Airway function is dynamic during variable workrate exercise in the asthmatic– ↑ exercise intensity = bronchodilation
– ↓ exercise intensity = bronchoconstriction
– Changing lung volume during exercise does not account for the variable airway function
• Neural mechanisms
• Chemical mediator mechanisms
• Lung and airway mechanical mechanisms
