Summary

1. The primary objective of this study is:

budesonide and formoterol on an as-needed basis compared to the use of terbutaline as-needed on exercise induced bronchoconstriction in adults and adolescents with mild intermittent asthma

2. The secondary objectives of this study are:

- To evaluate the magnitude of the protective effect of the combination of

budesonide and formoterol as-needed compared to regular once daily use of budesonide plus terbutaline as-needed on exercise induced bronchoconstriction in adults and adolescents with mild intermittent asthma

- To evaluate safety of budesonide/formoterol as-needed, terbutaline as-needed and

regular use of budesonide + terbutaline as-needed as terms of adverse event
