More than a third of college athletes assessed for breathing problems had test results suggesting exercise-induced asthma, even in those athletes who had no previous history of asthma, a new study shows.

The work also underscores the need to develop more routine diagnosis and management tools in athletes to detect the potentially serious condition among athletes.
