We read with interest the paper by Shaaban and coworkers1 on the protective effect of physical activity against bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) in the general population. The authors suggest that a beneficial effect of deep inspirations during exercise could account for the lower prevalence of BHR in physically active subjects compared with sedentary subjects, while the accompanying editorial2 favours an “anti-inflammatory” effect of exercise as the most plausible explanation. We have studied lung function and airway cell biology …
