Abstract
The present thesis consists of five studies with the main objective to investigate the

effect of different climatic conditions upon exercise capacity and exercise-induced

bronchoconstriction (EIB) in subjects with diagnosed EIB (reduction in forced

expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≥ 10% from before to after exercise). In order to

assess exercise capacity measured by peak oxygen uptake (V& O2 peak) and peak minute

ventilation (V& E peak), two different exercise protocols were evaluated. The usefulness to

diagnose EIB in medium altitude by a competitive cross-country skiing field test was

compared to assessment of methacholine induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness

(BHR) in elite cross-country skiers.
