Cystic fibrosis: physical exercise versus chest physiotherapy.

Abstract: SUMMARY Twelve children with cystic fibrosis were admitted to a paediatric rehabilitation hospital for 17 days to take part in a training programme of vigorous physical excercise and sport. The daily inhalation-physiotherapy routine was stopped. Ventilatory status was assessed by spirometry and measurement of lung volumes one day before admission, one day after the end of the hospital stay, and 8 weeks later. Flow measurements of forced expiration had improved appreciably by the end of the course, but most of … Show more

“…Nutritional status and exercise tolerance in CF patients are associated with prognosis and survival [1,2], and their preservation is thus important [3]. Exercise programmes have been shown to improve exercise tolerance in children and adults with CF [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. For monitoring of exercise programmes in individual patients, easy and reliable measurements of exercise capacity with correction for nutritional status are needed.…”

“…Exercising in different positions such as upright, sitting, supine, sidelying, and prone leads to the mobilization of pulmonary secretions and enhances airway clearance while concurrently increasing/maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness, general muscle strength, joint mobility, and postural alignment (Zach et al 1982;Salh et al 1989;Lannefors and Wollmer 1992;Hebestreit et al 2001Hebestreit et al , 2010Lannefors et al 2004). Some individuals with mild lung disease and good lung function use exercise together with forced expiration (huffing), coughing, and expectoration as stand-alone airway clearance therapy.…”

“…ren. Im Vergleich zu einigen anderen Untersuchungen wurden mit der kurzen, aber intensiven und umfassenden Therapie in Eilat sogar deutlich höhere Leistungssteigerungen erzielt [4, 13,17]. Wir führen die positiven Effekte auf die Kombination aus breitem Sportangebot, intensiver physikalischer Therapie und individuellem Ernährungsplan zurück.…”
