The bronchospasm is thought to be caused by drying of the airways and/or cooling of the airways resulting in changes in the concentration of intracellular contents and/or release of pro-inflammatory mediators that promote the changes in the airway. The cough can begin during exercise or shortly after the exercise session ends and can last for several hours. I see it frequently in competitive Nordic skiers who are training and competing at high exertion levels that require high respiratory rates to supply oxygen to the active leg and arm muscles, especially when they are training at higher altitudes where the air is usually very dry. This can be a form of intermittent asthma or simply bronchospasm from changes in the airway. This is commonly known as exercise asthma or exercise-associated bronchospasm. Many people pushed to high respiratory rates in these conditions will develop contractions or spasms in the smooth muscle that surrounds the airways and also produce extra mucous in the lining of the lung tubes that result in wheezing and/or cough. You might not cough after running in the warmer seasons, so why does it happen in the winter time? Cold air-especially cold dry air that accompanies the arctic blasts pushing down from northern latitudes-can trigger coughing due to either bronchospasm, which is when the tubes that bring air in and out of your lungs constrict, or asthma.
