Résumé
Healthy trained athletes generally have an "overbuilt" respiratory system in order to face the huge ventilation and gas-exchange demand imposed by strenuous exercise. Athletes frequently complain of respiratory symptoms regardless of whether they have a diagnosed respiratory disease, therefore evoking a kind of respiratory limitation during exercise. Some respiratory pathologies athletes present are closely linked to exercise and include asthma, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) or exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction. Management of asthma and EIB are mainly based on pharmacological treatments. However, many athletes still complain of respiratory symptoms despite optimal pharmacological treatments, which highlights the need for non-pharmacological approaches including breathing retraining, inspiratory muscle training and/or laryngeal exercise performed under the guidance of a physiotherapist in this specific population.
