Objectives (1) To describe the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in an adult cystic fibrosis
population related to sex and age,(2) to evaluate the cause of low CRF and (3) to study the …

Background: Studies evaluating cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in adult patients with cystic
fibrosis (CF) are limited. The objectives of the study were to 1) describe CRF, measured as …

Background The best clinical practice to investigate aerobic fitness includes measurements
obtained during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), however it remains an …

Study objectives Cross-sectional studies in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have shown that
exercise capacity is correlated with pulmonary function and body mass. We have examined …

Background: The optimal training mode for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients has not been defined.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate cardiopulmonary function before and after …

Background Ventilatory parameters obtained during exercise predict survival in several
chronic diseases; however, long-term changes in exercise ventilatory parameters in patients …

Objectives In cystic fibrosis (CF) maximal oxygen uptake and maximal work rate measured
during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) are significant predictors of mortality …

Objective A 6‐minute walk work (6MWW), that is the product of distance walked at the 6‐
minute walk test (6MWT) multiplied by body weight, has been suggested as an appropriate …

Objective The importance of aerobic fitness (VO2peak) in cystic fibrosis (CF) is well
established, and regular exercise testing is recommended. To standardise VO2peak, a …

Objectives:[1] To investigate the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels in children and
adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) with no ventilatory limitation (ventilatory reserve⩾ 15%) …
