Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The presence of EILO based on the Maat score (glottic and/or supraglottic,<br /><br>grade 2 or higher) during the CLE test</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>-Recognizable symptoms induced : yes/no<br /><br>-EILO grade score (Maat score; glottic and/or supraglottic)<br /><br>-Laryngeal pathology at rest<br /><br>-Exercise induced bronchoconstriction defined as post-exercise fall in FEV1 ><br /><br>10% during CLE test and during ECT beforehand. (Post-exercise fall in FEV1 =<br /><br>(FEV1pre-exercise - FEV1post-exercise) / FEV1pre-exercise * 100%).<br /><br>-Symptoms reported<br /><br>-Test duration and duration until start of symptoms and until peak dyspnea<br /><br>-Heart rate during exercise<br /><br>-Lung function with in- and expiratory flow volume loops (FEV1, FEV1(%pred),<br /><br>FVC)<br /><br>-before exercise<br /><br>-after exercise at 2 minute intervals (1,3,6 minutes)<br /><br>-Maximum running pace and slope (or max Wattage and Wattage/kg )<br /><br>-ACT score and sub scores<br /><br>-EILODI score and sub scores<br /><br>-VAS score: before exercise, at peak level of dyspnea and 2 minutes after<br /><br>exercise </p><br>
