    Algorithm for the assessment and treatment of an athlete with suspected airways disease. ∗FEV1>12% from baseline value in response to inhaled beta-2 agonist; †positive if FEV1 falls by >10% from baseline value (check guidelines for more detail). EIB = exercise-induced bronchoconstriction; FEV1= forced expiratory volume in 1 sec; FVC = forced vital capacity; ICS = inhaled corticosteroid; SABA = short-acting beta-2 agonist.
