Mean ± SD.
*
Two‐way repeated measure ANOVA on ranks comparing the initial and recovery TRR for individual subjects. %, percent predicted.
**
Significant difference in the initial R5Hz between URI and URI‐wheezing by the Post‐hoc test, (P = 0.0000); but no difference between URI and controls (P > 0.05).
