To the Editor, Exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) refers to a condition characterised by expiratory airflow limitation during physical activ‐ ity and is one of the most common causes of exertional breathing difficulty in young athletic individuals.1 Due to the limited value of a symptom‐based approach to diagnosis,2 it is now widely recognised that EIB should be objectively confirmed via indirect bronchoprovo‐ cation testing before initiating treatment, with eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea (EVH) often endorsed for this purpose.3 Although the feasibility of EVH testing is well established, the practicalities and associated cost of assessment is substantial and therefore not widely available as part of routine diagnostic work‐up across primary and secondary care. The development of simple yet robust clinical tools to aid the assessment of airway health in athletic individuals is therefore required. The Allergy Questionnaire for Athletes (AQUA) was originally de‐ veloped and validated as a reliable means to quantify the severity of allergic disease in athletes (specificity: 97.1% and sensitivity: 58.3%).4 Over the past decade, the relevant respiratory symptom components
