Positive/negative diagnosis for AHR to methacholine and/or EVH at V1 and V2 in swimmers. A positive diagnosis of AHR to MCh is defined by an MCh PC20 ≤4 mg/mL and/or by a fall in FEV1 post-EVH of ≥10% during a ≥5-minute period.10

Relationship between changes from V1 to V2 of FeNO and MCh PC20 (A) and EVHf (B) in swimmers and controls. Change in log MCh PC20 (V2-V1), Change in log PC20 to methacholine from V1 to V2; EVHf (V2-V1), change in the maximum fall in FEV1 after the EVH test from V1 to V2; FeNO (V2-V1), change in exhaled nitric oxide from V1 to V2. A, The regression equation for swimmers is y = 8.6x + 3.0 (r = –.46; P = .04). B, The regression equation for controls is y = 1.4x – 2.2 (r = .67; P = .005).
