The article explains the importance of exercise in the management of cystic fibrosis (CF). Studies have shown that exercise in CF improves aerobic capacity, physical well-being, health-related quality of life and can maintain or even slow the decline in lung function. It is also shown to correlate with improved cardiorespiratory fitness, increased exercise tolerance, improved respiratory muscle strength, reduced breathlessness and psychological benefits such as improved quality of life and morale. |
