What is meant by exercise induced asthma?

Let explain to you: Like it sounds, exercise-induced asthma is asthma that is triggered by vigorous or prolonged exercise or physical exertion. Most people with chronic asthma experience symptoms of asthma during exercise. However, there are many people without chronic asthma who develop symptoms only during exercise.

What it says: Exercise induced asthma is wheezing that happens after you start to exercise; it could be only a cough, but it usually happens, and people with exercise induced asthma usually don't wheeze when they are not exercising. The treatment is to take two inhalations of albuterol a half hour prior to exercising.
