Using the flow-volume curve both methods were of a comparable value although not absolute equal. Running-provocation seems to be especially qualified for the ascertainment of exercise-induced bronchospasm. A preexisting obstruction more often led to a positive result with increased reaction. The MEF values on low level of FVC proved to be especially sensitive.
