Abstract Laboratory assessment was made during maximal and submaximal exercise on 16 endurance trained male runners with asthma (aged 35±9 years) (mean±s.D.). Eleven of these asthmatic athletes had recent performance times over a half-marathon, which were examined in light of the results from the laboratory tests. The maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) of the group was 61.8 + 6.3 ml k g - 1 min - 1 and the maximum ventilation (VEmax) was 138.7±24.71 min -1 . These maximum cardio-respiratory responses to exercise were positively correlated to the degree of airflow obstruction, defined as the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (expressed as a percentage of predicted normal). The half-marathon performance times of 11 of the athletes ranged from those of recreational to elite runners (82.4±8.8 min, range 69-94). Race pace was correlated with VO2max (r=0.863, P
