The abstract doesn't really tell us anything about the severity of symptoms. The diagnosis/treatment threshold is a high enough lung function (FEV1 <= 80% of prediction) to allow full performance on an aerobic test. Individual disease profile and atmospheric conditions can make a large difference to FEV1, as can other treatments given to the asthmatic patients in addition to the bronchodilator under test. A purely aerobic test with a gradual warm up isn't even the worst challenge for exercise induced asthma in my experience.
