BTS clinical statement for the assessment and management of respiratory problems in athletic individuals
2022
Overview
Correspondence to Dr James H Hull, Respiratory Medicine, Royal Brompton Hospital, London, UK; j.hull@rbht.nhs.uk Introduction This British Thoracic Society (BTS) Clinical Statement addresses the diagnosis, evaluation and management of respiratory problems in athletic individuals. [...]it is estimated that at least one in four individuals report troublesome exercise-related respiratory issues, such as breathlessness, cough and/or wheeze.1 Moreover, in competitive athletes, asthma is the most prevalent medical condition and encountered in approximately a quarter of those partaking in endurance sport.2 3 Although athletic individuals can develop any cardiorespiratory illness and thus general clinical guideline documents are broadly applicable, studies over the past three decades have highlighted issues that are particularly relevant when assessing respiratory problems in athletic individuals or in certain sporting scenarios. Scope The purpose of this document was to provide concise and pragmatic guidance to help clinicians from all aspects of the multidisciplinary team (ie, including doctors, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, pharmacists, physiologists, psychologists and specialist nurses), in both primary and secondary care settings, in assessing and managing respiratory problems in athletic individuals. A thorough history should characterise the precise nature of exercise-related clinical features (eg, breathlessness and wheeze) and their relationship with exercise intensity and recovery.
