In EIA, which window is reported besides the initial onset?

• A. Last 5-10 Minutes Of Exercise
• B. Middle 20 Minutes
• C. During Cool-Down Only
• D. Only After Exercise Ends

Answer: (A)

In EIA testing, you look for two key moments to understand how the airways respond during activity. After noting when symptoms or a drop in function first appear, you also document a window near the end of the exercise—the last 5–10 minutes. This period often reveals the most pronounced bronchoconstriction because airway reactivity can intensify with sustained exertion and ventilation during the latter part of activity. Capturing this late-in-exercise window helps gauge severity and timing, guiding how to pace training and plan symptom management. The middle portion of the workout isn’t as informative for this purpose because it may miss the point where the airway response actually escalates. Monitoring only during cool-down would miss the active exercise response, and waiting only until after exercise ends would ignore changes that occur during the effort itself.
