Background Adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) frequently have reduced exercise
tolerance, which is multifactorial but mainly due to bronchial obstruction. The aim of this …

The purpose of this study was to investigate symptoms, lactate accumulation and limiting
factors at peak exercise in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. In total, 104 CF adults attending 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 …

To evaluate whether respiratory factors limit exercise capacity in patients with mild cystic
fibrosis (CF) lung disease (mean FEV1= 76±7.7% predicted) we stressed the respiratory …

The median age of survival in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) has improved considerably.
Despite this improvement, deterioration of pulmonary function and decrease in exercise …

Objectives To investigate the relationship between lung function and exercise capacity in
adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), and to develop a CF-specific equation to predict Modified …

The aim of our study was to evaluate the responses to an exercise programme with respect
to initial fitness in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF). 72 subjects (42 female) aged 10–43 yrs …

Exercise capacity, an objective measure of exercise intolerance, is known to predict quality
of life and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). The mechanisms for exercise intolerance in …

Background Responses to a single bout of exercise may provide critical information for
maximizing improvements in pulmonary function following exercise training in cystic fibrosis …

Dyspnea is one of the main complaints of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Lung function at
rest is not sufficient to explain dyspnea during exercise. Because inspiratory muscles are …
