Supplementary information files for "Prevalence of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in

Supplementary information files for the article 'Prevalence of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in elite Chinese summer sport athletes'. The underlying study was a cross-sectional analysis of 500 elite athletes across 17 sports, conducted by Zhi Cao. The data includes results from exercise challenge testing, spirometry, and serum biomarker assessments.

Use Cases

• Analyze prevalence patterns of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction based on sport type, gender, and indoor/outdoor environment.
• Investigate correlations between post-exercise FEV1 decline and inflammatory biomarkers like eosinophils, IL-5, and CC16.
• Compare respiratory health risk profiles across different athletic disciplines and performance levels.

Strengths

• Study includes a specific cohort of 500 elite athletes, providing a substantial sample size.
• Data collection involved multiple standardized tests: exercise challenge, spirometry, and assessment of 7 serum biomarkers.
• Results show specific prevalence rates (27.6% overall) with sport-level breakdowns, such as 51.52% for swimming.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analytical tasks.
• The dataset consists of supplementary files (PDF, MP4); the underlying raw data tables are not directly described.
