Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

1. The primary objective of this study is:

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