In an effort to determine whether the refractory period in exercise-induced asthma derived from mediator consumption we had seven asthmatic subjects repeatedly perform both exercise and eucapnic hyperventilation at matched minute ventilations under precisely controlled inspired air conditions. We reasoned that, if airway cooling were causing an agent to be released whose depletion resulted in less responsiveness, we should be able to observe this phenomenon irrespective of how cooling was produced. Repetitive exercise at short intervals produced a diminution in the obstructive response that disappeared when the interval between challenges was extended to 2 h. However, the degree of obstruction that occurred after voluntary hyperventilation remained constant irrespective of when the provocations were performed and equaled that seen with the first and last exercise challenge. Because the thermal burdens were identical for each challenge and all time periods, these results are incompatible with mediator depletion and suggest that it may be the secondary sympathoadrenal consequences of repeated exercise that cause the airways to temporarily lose their responsivity.
