Bronchodilating and Bronchoprotective Effects of Deep Inspirations

"Visit 1: High-dose methacholine challenge test~Visit 2 or 3: Will be conducted in random order and subjects will perform one of two modified single-dose methacholine challenge tests at either visit. During these modified challenges, subjects will (a) perform five DIs from functional residual capacity (FRC) to total lung capacity (TLC) back to FRC, or (b) refrain from taking DIs prior to inhaling the previously measured single PC20 dose of methacholine."

"Visit 1: Baseline tests, and subjects will be randomized to complete either a high-dose methacholine using maximal expiratory flow-volume loop (MEFV), or a high-dose methacholine challenge with impulse oscillometry (IOS) and partial expiratory flow-volume loop (PEFV) and MEFV at each dose step.~Visit 2: Subjects will perform the opposite protocol, based on their first visit:"
