Eleven moderately trained men (19 to 30 years old) participated in three blind graded maximal treadmill tests for each of two different aspirin doses and a placebo condition. The treatments consisted of the following: an acute dose of 975 mg of aspirin 1 hour prior to exercise; a chronic dose of 975 mg of aspirin 3 times a day for 4 consecutive days; and a placebo of three comstarch‐filled capsules, 3 times a day for 4 consecutive days. Maximal performance was not significantly different among the treatments.

This study investigates the prevalence of cough after exercise and its relationship to the presence of bronchial reactivity, asthma, and exercise‐induced symptoms of asthma in a group of elite athletes.

The measurement periods were during late July and early August, the period corresponding to the planned 1996 Games competition days. Whereas the 1992 data were of a more general nature, and thus preliminary, in 1993, 1994, and 1995 detailed measurements were made at 5‐minute intervals during selected 4‐hour periods. The potentially high temperature, humidity, and radiant heating in Atlanta during the Games period to which athletes, spectators, officials, and media could be exposed warranted such detailed studies.
