Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing physical activity in people with Cystic Fibrosis (pwCF) can positively influence their physical and mental wellbeing. Online activities provide opportunity for outpatient CF populations to enhance physical activity. METHODS PwCF within a large Scottish CF unit were invited to participate in a pilot study of online exercise and education sessions. Those participating shared opinions on motivation, fitness habits, types of activities enjoyed pre and during shielding, and desirable goals for online activity. Subsequently, an online activity timetable was created offering daily exercise classes. Educational presentations driven by patient request were delivered in context appropriate to health, wellbeing, and infection control needs during the pandemic and the advent of modulator therapies. Twenty-eight group exercise sessions and 12 educational sessions occurred over the six-week pilot, following which, a post-pilot questionnaire was sent to those who had participated in the sessions. Risk assessment and exercise modifications ensured safe practice and accommodation for all levels of respiratory disease. RESULTS Twenty-six pwCF attended one or more exercise sessions and 37 pwCF attended one or more education sessions. Group exercise and education improved time efficiency compared to in-person face-to-face delivery. The post-pilot questionnaire demonstrated increases in motivation and perceived fitness, with positive comments regarding peer support and enhanced socialization. Personal fitness goals were fully or partially achieved by 91% of participants. CONCLUSION Patient feedback suggested the implementation of online exercise and education sessions for pwCF was a satisfactory and convenient way to deliver exercise allowing for optimization and progression of personal goals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Among the limited studies on physical exercise interventions in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), few have specifically addressed the improvement of peripheral muscle strength and body fat-free mass. The aim of this study was to examine the impacts of a remotely supervised, individualized 8-week resistance training program of moderate to high intensity on strength and body composition in these subjects. METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial performed in adults with CF. The exercise group (EX) performed three 1-h resistance training sessions per week over 8 weeks. The control group (CON) followed the physical activity recommendations of their physician. The main outcomes were muscle strength and body composition, with secondary measures including pulmonary function and quality of life. Two-way repeated measures analysis was used. RESULTS In 23 participants (age 32.13 ± 7.72 years), the intervention showed a significant beneficial effect on leg press strength, with a large effect size, both in absolute (p = 0.011;η p 2 $$ {\eta}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 $$ = 0.281) and relative (p = 0.007;η p 2 $$ {\eta}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 $$ = 0.310) terms. Large intervention effects were observed on total fat mass (p < 0.001;η p 2 $$ {\eta}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 $$ = 0.415), body adiposity index (p < 0.001;η p 2 $$ {\eta}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 $$ = 0.436), and fat mass index (p < 0.001;η p 2 $$ {\eta}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 $$ = 0.445), all showing reduction in the EX group. In addition, significant large size effects were detected on total fat-free mass (p = 0.046;η p 2 $$ {\eta}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 $$ = 0.177), trunk fat-free mass (p = 0.039;η p 2 $$ {\eta}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 $$ = 0.188), and fat-free mass index (p = 0.048;η p 2 $$ {\eta}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 $$ = 0.174), all favoring exercise. No significant effects were observed on pulmonary function and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS An 8-week remotely supervised resistance training program, with moderate to high intensity, effectively improved lower limb muscle strength and body composition.

Abstract
Motivation and adherence are the main factors that limit participation in physiotherapy exercise sessions and airway clearance in cystic fibrosis (CF) population. One of the newly developed techniques is to use virtual reality (VR) games to increase motivation and adherence during exercise sessions for this population. However, this area is still poorly investigated. This review aims to evaluate, summarize, and review published literature regarding the effects of VR exercise on cardiopulmonary function and the use of VR games as a tool for airway clearance technique in CF population. A systematic search was conducted using PEDro, MEDLINE, AMED, CINAHL Plus, and relevant associated keywords. Seventy-three citations were identified from the search, of which 10 were included in this review. Overall, the use of VR was found to have positive effects on cardiac function and improved adherence and motivation during the exercise sessions in people with CF. Incorporating VR into exercise and airway clearance interventions may be beneficial for people with CF. However, further studies with larger sample size and wider range of disease severity are required to be conducted in future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) is a proven therapeutic tool to increase the quality of life and life expectancy in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Despite this, the PA level of pwCF is lower than recommended. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to identify the barriers to and facilitators of PA in adults with CF with heterogeneous severity. METHODS Twenty adults with CF (mean age = 33.3±11.7 years, mean FEV1% = 50.55±20.4%) were recruited from two specialized centers and interviewed about the factors that limit and facilitate their PA. The collected data were transcribed, coded and analyzed using deductive and inductive methods. RESULTS Barriers and facilitators were classified into physical, psychological and environmental dimensions. The main barriers were fatigue, breathing difficulties, lack of available facilities, negative perceptions of PA and perceived health risks. The most important facilitators were respiratory benefits, well-being, and social support. CONCLUSION Although some barriers and facilitators were similar to those found in children with CF or adults from other vulnerable populations, others were specific to adults with CF, such as the risk of cross-contamination and transplant preparation. The comprehensive study of the barriers and facilitators in adults will enhance PA counseling for pwCF and help improve their compliance with PA recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nowadays physical activity (PA)/exercise is an important component of cystic fibrosis (CF) therapy. The aim of the study was to assess the barriers to PA and the barrier management and to explore the effect of supervision on the barriers and barrier management during an exercise program. METHODS In total, 88 people with CF (pwCF) of the ages 6 to 50 years old (mean 24.2 ± 7.9 yrs) participated in the partially supervised 12-month exercise program and filled in a structured and validated questionnaire about barriers to sports and barrier management at baseline. Additionally, 23 pwCF filled in the questionnaire after 6 months and 12 months. The items were clustered into physical and psychosocial barriers and into preventive counter strategies and situational counter strategies and analyzed at baseline and over time. RESULTS Physical barriers were more relevant than psychosocial barriers and no trend could be seen in the situational and preventive counter strategies. When divided in subgroups, the less active pwCF (<7500 steps/day), more active pwCF (>7500 steps/day), physical barriers, and psychosocial barriers showed no significant differences. However physical barriers showed a tendency to have a higher value in the less active group compared to the more active group (p > 0.05). Stratified by age or FEV1%pred between the subgroups, no differences could be seen regarding barriers and counter strategies. CONCLUSIONS Physical barriers seemed to have a higher priority when it comes to not participating in PA/exercise. Supervision over 6 months during an exercise program did not show a beneficial effect on barriers and barrier management. Besides the motivational aspect of sport counselling, the volitional aspect seemed to be more important to incorporate more PA into daily life. Individual barriers and their concrete counter strategies should be discussed with the patient with CF. Sport counselling is needed permanently and should be part of the CF routine care.

Comparison of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour between Schoolchildren with Cystic Fibrosis and Healthy Controls: A Gender Analysis. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18105375. [PMID: 34070042 PMCID: PMC8158139 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18105375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine differences in sports participation and the levels of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) between schoolchildren with cystic fibrosis (CF) and a healthy control group (CG) taking into account the gender variable. PA and SB were measured with an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days in 44 children (24 girls; 11.0 (3.2) years) with CF and 45 age-, sex-, and socioeconomic status-matched controls (24 girls; 11.1 (3.0) years). CF patients and CG did not differ in moderate-to-vigorous PA (54 (31) vs. 59 (27) min/day respectively) or in SB (558 (106) vs. 553 (92) min/day respectively). There were no differences in meeting the PA guidelines between both groups (CF: 36.4% vs. CG: 42.4%). Gender analysis revealed that boys were more active and met more PA guidelines than girls regardless of the group (CF or CG), girls with CF being the least active group (only 16.7% met PA guidelines). A possible compensatory effect was found between SB and PA only in the CF sample, as for each minute/day spent in SB the odds of meeting PA guidelines decreased by 34%. These findings suggest that promoting a reduction in SB is as important as promoting PA in the CF population, especially in girls. Health caregivers, coaches, teachers, or parents could offer appealing supervised and unsupervised physical activities, foster the adoption of active lifestyles, or incorporate PA into daily routines to improve the health of CF schoolchildren.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise and physical activity (PA) are essential components of the care of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Lower PA levels have been associated with worse pulmonary function, aerobic fitness, glycemic control, and bone mineral density. Most people with CF do not engage in the recommended amounts of PA. OBJECTIVE To determine the level of PA in children and adolescents with CF. METHODS A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted without language restrictions in five databases. Were included studies that analyzed PA measured by objective and subjective instruments in children and adolescents with CF. Two independent reviewers analyzed the studies, extracted the data, and assessed the quality of evidence. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's risk-of-bias tool. RESULTS Of the 1535 reports returned by the initial search, 20 articles reporting on 785 patients were included in the data synthesis. The forest plot showed that the CF group had a similar moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) (mean difference, -7.79; 95% CI -15.65 to 0.08 min/d; P = .05) and sedentary time (mean difference, -50.81; 95%CI, -109.96 to 8.35 min/d; P = .09) to the control group. CONCLUSION Children and adolescents with CF have a similar MVPA and sedentary time compared to controls. There are many options, subjective and objective, for assessing PA in this population. Optimal tool selection should guarantee more valid results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the adherence and the self-reported barriers to general and respiratory exercises reported by individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). STUDY DESIGN An exploratory, experimental study. METHODS Community-dwelling individuals aged 16 years and over, diagnosed with CF, who were accompanied in referral centers were included. Information regarding adherence to exercises was obtained by a questionnaire and reported as a ratio between prescribed exercises and self-reported adherence. The weekly frequency was used to verify adherence to exercise initiation, and the amount of session duration concluded was used to verify adherence to exercise duration. Values above 0.70 were considered as high adherence. Eight demographic and clinical factors were examined to explore their relationships with adherence, and the barriers to exercises were also collected by questionnaire. RESULTS Thirty-four participants met the inclusion criteria. Overall, adherence to exercise initiation was 0.40 (standard deviation [SD] = 0.3) for general exercises and 0.63 (SD = 0.4) for respiratory exercises. Adherence to exercise duration was 0.76 (SD = 0.4) for general exercises and 0.73 (SD = 0.4) for respiratory exercises. Forced vital capacity (r = 0.39; P = .02) was associated with adherence to the duration of general exercises, and body mass index (r = -0.33; P = .05) was associated with adherence to the duration of respiratory exercises. The main reported barriers were lack of interest, motivation and time, tiredness, noncommitment, and do not recognize the benefits of exercises. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with CF minded completing the sessions of prescribed exercises once they have initiated it, but most of the days they did not practice general or respiratory exercises.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aims of this study were to compare mechanical outputs (i.e. power and impulse), physiological (i.e. heart rate) and perceptual (i.e. effort and fatigue) responses in older men to traditional-set or different cluster-set configuration resistance training protocols. METHODS In a randomized cross-over design, 20 healthy old men (aged 67.2 ± 2.1 years) completed four resistance training sessions using the back squat exercise loaded with optimal power loads. Training configurations were: traditional (TRA), three sets of six repetitions with 120-s rest between each set; Cluster-set 1 (CLU1), 24 single-repetition clusters with 10 s of rest after every cluster; Cluster-set 2 (CLU2), 12 double-repetition clusters with 20-s rest after every cluster; and Cluster-set 4 (CLU4), 6 quadruple-repetition clusters with 40-s rest after every cluster. RESULTS Cluster-set configurations resulted in greater power outputs compared to traditional-set configuration (range 2.6-9.2%, all p [Formula: see text] 0.07 for main effect and protocol [Formula: see text] set interactions). CLU1 and CLU2 induced higher heart rate (range 7.1-10.5%, all p < 0.001 for main effect and protocol [Formula: see text] set interactions), lower rating of perceived exertion (range - 1.3 to - 3.2 AU, all p [Formula: see text] 0.006 for pairwise comparisons) and lower ratings of fatigue (range - 0.15 to - 4 AU, all p [Formula: see text] 0.012 for pairwise comparisons) compared to TRA and CLU4. Finally, an absolute preference for CLU2 was reported. CONCLUSIONS Findings presented here support the prescription of CLU2 as an optimal resistance training configuration for trained older men using the back squat.

Abstract
Background Exercise training provides benefits for individuals with cystic fibrosis; however, the optimal program is unclear. High-intensity interval training is safe and effective for improving ‘functional capacity’ in these individuals with peak rate of O2 uptake typically referenced. The ability to adjust submaximal rate of oxygen uptake (V̇O2 kinetics) might be more important for everyday function because maximal efforts are usually not undertaken. Moreover, the ability of high-intensity training to accelerate V̇O2 kinetics for individuals with cystic fibrosis could be enhanced with O2 supplementation during training. Methods Nine individuals with cystic fibrosis completed incremental cycling to limit of tolerance followed by 8 weeks of high-intensity interval cycling (2 sessions per week x ~ 45 min per session) either with (n = 5; O2+) or without (AMB) oxygen supplementation (100%). Each session involved work intervals at 70% of peak work rate followed by 60 s of recovery at 35%. For progression, duration of work intervals was increased according to participant tolerance. Results Both groups experienced a significant increase in work-interval duration over the course of the intervention (O2+, 1736 ± 141 v. 700 ± 154 s; AMB, 1463 ± 598 v. 953 ± 253 s; P = 0.000); however, the increase experienced by O2+ was greater (P = 0.027). During low-intensity constant-work-rate cycling, the V̇O2 mean response time was shortened post compared to pre training (O2+, 34 ± 11 v. 44 ± 9 s; AMB, 39 ± 14 v. 45 ± 17 s; P = 0.000) while during high-intensity constant-work-rate cycling, time to exhaustion was increased (O2+, 1628 ± 163 v. 705 ± 133 s; AMB, 1073 ± 633 v. 690 ± 348 s; P = 0.002) and blood [lactate] response was decreased (O2+, 4.5 ± 0.9 v. 6.3 ± 1.4 mmol. L− 1; AMB, 4.5 ± 0.6 v. 5.2 ± 1.4 mmol. L− 1; P = 0.003). These positive adaptations were similar regardless of gas inspiration during training. Conclusion Eight weeks of high-intensity interval training for patients with cystic fibrosis accelerated V̇O2 kinetics and increased time to exhaustion. This provides some evidence that these patients may benefit from this type of exercise. Trial registration This study was retrospectively registered in the ISRTCN registry on 22/06/2019 (#ISRCTN13864650).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Physical activity is widely recommended in the treatment and management of cystic fibrosis (CF). Despite the numerous physical and psychological benefits, many young people with CF are not achieving the recommended levels of physical activity. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and synthesise available qualitative investigations exploring the motives for, barriers to and facilitators of physical activity among young people with CF. METHODS The following six electronic databases were systematically searched: Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts (ASSIA), CINAH, EMBASE, MEDLINE, MEDLINE-in-process, PsycINFO up to August 2019. Keywords were used to identify qualitative research that explored engagement in physical activity among young people with CF. Titles and abstracts were screened by two independent reviewers, and potentially relevant articles were retrieved in full. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they employed any qualitative method and recruited participants under the age of 24 years with CF. Risk of bias of included studies was assessed via the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. Results were synthesised using a thematic approach. RESULTS Seven studies met our inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Overall, studies were of moderate to high quality. Thematic synthesis identified nine main themes that encompass motives for, barriers to and facilitators of physical activity among young people with CF. These were (1) Perceptions of physical activity. (2) Value attributed to physical activity. (3) Social influences. (4) Competing priorities. (5) Fluctuating health. (6) Normality. (7) Control beliefs. (8) Coping strategies. (9) Availability of facilities. Previous reviews have been unable to identify intervention characteristics that influence physical activity behaviour. CONCLUSIONS This review provides detailed information on the physical (biological-clinical), psychological, social and environmental influences on physical activity behaviour, thus providing numerous targets for future interventions. This in turn could facilitate promotion of physical activity among young people with CF.

Abstract
Trampolining has become a popular recreational activity, but currently no method exists by which energy expenditure can be indirectly measured while bouncing. Therefore, the aim of this study was to produce a model to measure energy expenditure while bouncing on a trampoline. To achieve this, the study was completed in two stages. First, a model was developed which calculated the energy absorbed by the trampoline for a known weight. This was achieved using drop tests on a trampoline. Second, the efficiency of energy conversion while trampolining was measured. This involved healthy adults bouncing on a trampoline while energy expenditure was recorded using a gas analyser. The combined datasets from the two parts allowed the formation of a model which can predict energy expenditure while bouncing on a trampoline using only the user's weight as an input. This model can now be used with an on-trampoline measurement method to track energy expenditure while jumping, thereby facilitating the use of trampolines for health and fitness.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether altering the bounce style affects the physiological demands of trampolining. Methods: Twenty-eight healthy adults completed five, three-minute exercise bouts on a trampoline where; heart rate (HR), V ˙ O 2 (mL/min) and rate of EE (kJ/min) were collected for five different bouncing variations. Results: A one-way repeated measures MANOVA was then used to assess whether significant differences existed between the different bounce types for HR V ˙ O 2 and EE. A significant difference was found ( F 12 , 280 = 20.886, p = 0.0005), so a series of one-way repeated measures ANOVAs were used to identify the degree of significance. For V ˙ O 2 ( F 2.421 , 27 = 64.079, p = 0.0005, ηp 2 = 0.7) and EE ( F 2.989 , 27 = 44.979, p = 0.0005, ηp 2 = 0.6). Post-hoc tests found that for both V ˙ O 2 and EE a significant difference existed between the conventional bounce and each of the bounce variates (p = 0.0005). Conclusion: The results from this study indicated altering the bounce style does have a significant effect on the physiological demands of trampolining. The energy expenditure (EE) equation for trampolining can now be updated to more accurately reflect the rate of EE while performing different bounce styles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adherence of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) to exercise is challenging. Here we compared the physiological responses during the use of interactive video games (VG) with the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in healthy and CF subjects. METHODS Cross-sectional study including CF and healthy (CON) subjects older than 6 years. Individuals were evaluated in two visits. At visit one, anthropometric measures, spirometry and CPET were performed. In the second visit, a physical activity questionnaire was applied and gas analyses performed during the use (10 min) of both Nintendo Wii (Wii Fit Plus: (1) Obstacle Course, (2) Rhythm Boxing and (3) Free Run) and Xbox One (Just Dance 2015: (1) Love Me Again, (2) Summer and (3) Happy). RESULTS Twenty-five CON and 30 CF patients were included. The mean FEV1 (%) was significantly lower in the CF group compared to CON. There were no differences between groups at peak exercise (CPET) for heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption (VO2) and minute ventilation (VE). In the CON group, games 2 and 3 (Xbox) and game 3 (Nintendo) increased HR to values similar to the anaerobic threshold (AT), while for the CF group this occurred for games 2 (Xbox) and 3 (Nintendo). As for VO2 and VE, both groups obtained similar responses as compared to AT values in games 2 (Xbox) and 3 (Nintendo). CONCLUSION The use of VG generated a cardiorespiratory response similar to AT levels found during CPET, indicating that it may be an alternative for exercise training of CF individuals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate effect of one year exercise intervention program on bone mineral accrual in children and adolescent with cystic fibrosis (CF). METHODS Fifty-two CF children (mean age 149.79 mo) were randomized into experimental (15 boys and 10 girls) and control groups (15 boys and 12 girls). Experimental group performed prescribed exercises three times/week, while control group continued with routine physical activities for one year. Following were assessed at baseline and at one year: Bone mineral density (BMD) of whole body and lumbar spine, pulmonary function, exercise capacity, quality of life and habitual activity. RESULTS Change in whole body and lumbar spine BMD over 12 mo in experimental group was lower by 0.006 g/cm2 (95% CI -0.02 to 0.02) and higher by 0.001 g/cm2 (95% CI -0.04 to 0.03) than controls, respectively. However, difference between groups was non-significant for both parameters. Experimental group had a significant improvement in their exercise capacity (p = 0.006), quality of life, and serum vitamin D (p = 0.007) levels. Differences between groups for changes in pulmonary function and habitual activity were non-significant. CONCLUSIONS Exercise regime was not associated with significant improvement in BMD of CF patients, but it had a positive impact on both physical and psychological health of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the views of healthcare professionals from cystic fibrosis (CF) multidisciplinary teams (MDT) on physical activity for adolescents with CF, the specific strategies used for physical activity promotion and associated challenges. DESIGN In this exploratory study, in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 15 healthcare professionals from CF MDTs to explore their views surrounding physical activity promotion for adolescents with CF. PARTICIPANTS Eleven physiotherapists (nine female), two consultants (both male) and two dieticians (both female) provided written informed consent and participated in the study. SETTING CF clinics in the UK. RESULTS While healthcare professionals highlighted the importance of physical activity in the management of CF, they noted that very few patients were motivated solely by (CF or general) health reasons. Healthcare professionals discussed the need for physical activity to be an enjoyable and routine part of their life, undertaken with significant others, outside the clinic whenever possible. Adopted approaches for physical activity promotion focused on providing individualised recommendations that suit the patients' individual needs and goals and enhance intrinsic motivation for physical activity. CONCLUSION Our research offers valuable information for those seeking to develop interventions to promote physical activity among adolescents with CF. Specifically, intervention developers should focus on developing individualised interventions that focus on enhancing intrinsic motivation and support the integration of physical activity into everyday life.

Abstract
Introduction Physical activity, including structured exercise, is an essential component in the management of cystic fibrosis. The use of telehealth such as video-calling may be a useful method for the delivery of exercise and physical activity interventions, though the feasibility of this remains unknown. Methods Nine patients with cystic fibrosis (three female, six male, 30.9 ± 8.7 years) volunteered to participate. Participants completed an eight-week exercise training intervention conducted via Skype, using personalised exercises, with all sessions supervised by an exercise therapist. Feasibility was assessed by demand, implementation, practicality and acceptability. Changes in anthropometric, pulmonary, physical activity and quality of life variables were also assessed. Results Two male participants withdrew from the study, citing lack of available time. The remaining participants found use of Skype useful, with a mean satisfaction rating of 9/10, and three participants requesting to continue the sessions beyond the duration of the study. Mean compliance with sessions was 68%, with mean duration of sessions being 20 min. A total of 25% of calls suffered from technical issues such as video or audio lags. Anthropometric, pulmonary, physical activity and quality of life variables remained unchanged over the course of the study period. Discussion The use of Skype to deliver an exercise intervention to patients withcystic fibrosis was found to be technologically feasible, and acceptable among participants. Findings have implications for clinical practice and could allow care teams to engage patients remotely in exercise. Further research is required to assess the efficacy of this modality on increasing physical activity and associated health outcomes.

A formative study exploring perceptions of physical activity and physical activity monitoring among children and young people with cystic fibrosis and health care professionals. BMC Pediatr 2018; 18:335. [PMID: 30352564 PMCID: PMC6198445 DOI: 10.1186/s12887-018-1301-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2017] [Accepted: 10/03/2018] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) is associated with reduced hospitalisations and maintenance of lung function in patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). PA is therefore recommended as part of standard care. Despite this, there is no consensus for monitoring of PA and little is known about perceptions of PA monitoring among children and young people with CF. Therefore, the research aimed to explore patients' perceptions of PA and the acceptability of using PA monitoring devices with children and young people with CF. METHODS An action research approach was utilised, whereby findings from earlier research phases informed subsequent phases. Four phases were utilised, including patient interviews, PA monitoring, follow-up patient interviews and health care professional (HCP) interviews. Subsequently, an expert panel discussed the study to develop recommendations for practice and future research. RESULTS Findings suggest that experiences of PA in children and young people with CF are largely comparable to their non-CF peers, with individuals engaging in a variety of activities. CF was not perceived as a barrier per se, although participants acknowledged that they could be limited by their symptoms. Maintenance of health emerged as a key facilitator, in some cases PA offered patients the opportunity to 'normalise' their condition. Participants reported enjoying wearing the monitoring devices and had good compliance. Wrist-worn devices and devices providing feedback were preferred. HCPs recognised the potential benefits of the devices in clinical practice. Recommendations based on these findings are that interventions to promote PA in children and young people with CF should be individualised and involve families to promote PA as part of an active lifestyle. Patients should receive support alongside the PA data obtained from monitoring devices. CONCLUSIONS PA monitoring devices appear to be an acceptable method for objective assessment of PA among children and young people with CF and their clinicians. Wrist-worn devices, which are unobtrusive and can display feedback, were perceived as most acceptable. By understanding the factors impacting PA, CF health professionals will be better placed to support patients and improve health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Software applications (apps) could potentially promote exercise adherence. However, it is unclear whether adolescents with painful hyperkyphosis will use an app designed for a home exercise program. The purpose of this study is to assess factors regarding adherence to an app-based home exercise program in adolescents with hyperkyphosis and back pain who were provided a one-time exercise treatment. METHODS Twenty-one participants were instructed in a one-time exercise treatment and asked to complete a home exercise program 3 times a week for 6 months using an app called PT PAL. At a 6-month follow-up, 14 participants completed a survey assessing factors related to their experiences using the app and their treatment engagement. RESULTS Although most participants did not use the app, they reported performing their exercises a few times per week. The adolescent participants considered the app to be more of a barrier than a supportive measure for promoting exercise adherence. Most participants still reported bothersome back pain. CONCLUSIONS Although adherence to the 6-month app-based home exercise program was not successful, adolescents still viewed technology support such as text reminders as a potential solution.

Abstract
While development of new treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF) has led to a significant improvement in survival age, routine daily treatment for CF is complex, burdensome, and time intensive. Adolescence is a period of decline in pulmonary function in CF, and is also a time when adherence to prescribed treatment plans for CF tends to decrease. Challenges to adherence in adolescents with CF include decreased parental involvement, time management and significant treatment burden, and adolescent perceptions of the necessity and value of the treatments prescribed. Studies of interventions to improve adherence are limited and focus on education, without significant evidence of success. Smaller studies on behavioral techniques do not focus on adolescents. Other challenges for improving adherence in adolescents with CF include infection control practices limiting in-person interactions. This review focuses on the existing evidence base on adherence intervention in adolescents with CF. Future directions for efforts to optimize treatment adherence in adolescents with CF include reducing treatment burden, developing patient-driven technology to improve tracking, communication, and online support, and rethinking the CF health services model to include assessment of individualized adherence barriers.

Pediatr Pulmonol 2016; 51:1020-1030.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare habitual physical activity between cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and healthy controls and to investigate possible predictors for reduced physical activity in CF patients. METHODS Sixty-six patients with CF (3-44 years) and 65 healthy controls (3-55 years) were asked to wear an accelerometer (Actigraph GT1M) for 9 days (at least 10 hr/day). Physical activity was classified in five categories from very low to very strenuous. RESULTS In general, there was no difference in physical activity between CF patients and healthy controls. However, young school-aged 6-13 years old children with CF spent less time with strenuous and very strenuous activity than healthy controls (adjusted difference in activity -0.43 (-0.69, -0.17)). Patients with very low lung function were significantly less active, but other CF-associated conditions did not affect physical activity. CONCLUSIONS While we found similar levels of physical activity measured by accelerometry in patients with CF compared to healthy controls in general, young school-aged children showed less engagement in strenuous activities than their healthy counterparts. As the reduced physical activity in young school children was not likely to be explained by the disease state, strenuous physical activity may be enhanced by advocating exercise and sport.

Abstract
For many years physiotherapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) was synonymous with a daily routine of postural drainage and percussion. Improved longevity and a desire for independence, together with a clearer understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, has led to the development of many airway clearance techniques. The contribution of ‘chest’ physiotherapy remained unchallenged until recent times when lack of robust evidence and the presentation of asymptomic infants and adults led some physiotherapists to question this traditional approach. As survival increases into the fourth and fifth decade unique complications have evolved and physiotherapy management is challenged with nonrespiratory aspects of treatment. This review will consider the evidence for, and current practice of airway clearance, the value of exercise and the emerging problems of musculoskeletal complications and incontinence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early detection of lung disease is a primary objective in monitoring patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF); High-Resolution-Computed-Tomography (HRCT) assesses structural damage. Spirometry and cardiopulmonary exercise testing are used for functional evaluation of CF lung disease. AIM To evaluate the deterioration of exercise testing parameters over a 2-year period compared to the change of spirometry and HRCT parameters among CF patients. METHODS Twenty-eight CF patients were evaluated with HRCT, spirometry, and exercise testing; 15 had two assessments with an interval of 2 years. Correlation analyses between Bhalla score parameters and functional measures were performed. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients with CF (mean age 14.9 years, mean forced expiratory volume in 1 sec [FEV1 ] 83.2%) were evaluated. FEV1 was not found to change significantly in the 2-year period (P = 0.612). Both mean Bhalla score and mean peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak %) deteriorated significantly (P = 0.014 and P = 0.026, respectively). VO2 peak and respiratory equivalents for O2 and CO2 at peak exercise were found to be significant predictors of Bhalla score (r = -0.477, P = 0.010; r = 0.461, P = 0.018; r = 0.402; P = 0.042, respectively). Anaerobic threshold was associated with changes in Bhalla score over the following 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Exercise testing is more sensitive than spirometry to detect structural changes in CF lungs.

Higher mobility scores in patients with cystic fibrosis are associated with better lung function. Pulm Med 2015; 2015:423219. [PMID: 25789173 PMCID: PMC4348578 DOI: 10.1155/2015/423219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2014] [Revised: 01/20/2015] [Accepted: 01/21/2015] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether mobility and physical activity were associated with lung function in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). DESIGN This was a prospective cohort observational study in an urban, academic, specialized care center. Participants were ambulatory, nonhospitalized adults with CF. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Mobility was assessed monthly by the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) questionnaire and quarterly by pedometer. Lung function was assessed by spirometry. RESULTS Twenty-seven subjects participated. Subjects recorded mean pedometer steps of 20,213 ± 11,331 over three days and FEV1% predicted of 77.48% ± 22.60% over one year. The LSA score at enrollment was correlated with initial pedometer steps (r = 0.42 and P = 0.03), and mean LSA score over one year was correlated with mean number of steps (r = 0.51 and P = 0.007). LSA mobility and pedometer scores were correlated with FEV1% predicted at enrollment and throughout the study. CONCLUSIONS Mobility and physical activity measured by LSA questionnaire and pedometer are positively associated with lung function in adults with CF. This study confirms the importance of mobility and physical activity and supports the utility of a simple office-based questionnaire as a measure of mobility in adults with CF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although exercise is a vital component of the therapy prescribed to individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), it is not a priority due to a finite amount of treatment time and the view that exercise is not as beneficial as pharmacological treatments by many individuals with CF. We sought to compare the therapeutic benefits of exercise and their prescribed bronchodilator albuterol. METHODS CF (n = 14) and healthy (n = 16) subjects completed three visits, a baseline screening with VO2 max test and two treatment visits. On the two treatment visits, subjects completed spirometry and diffusing capacity of the lungs for nitric oxide (DLNO) maneuvers either at baseline, 60, and 110 min post-albuterol administration, or at baseline and the midway point of three separate 15 min exercise bouts at low, moderate and vigorous intensity (25, 50 and 65% of the maximum workload, respectively). RESULTS With moderate exercise the increase in DLNO was double (39 ± 8 vs 15 ± 6% change) and the level of bronchodilation similar (23% change) when compared to 110 min post-albuterol in individuals with CF. During exercise FVC became reduced (-309 ± 66 mL with moderate exercise) and the increase in FEV1 was attenuated (103 ± 39 vs 236 ± 58 mL, exercise vs. albuterol) when compared with the response to albuterol in individuals with CF. Epinephrine (EPI) release increased 39, 72 and 144% change with low, moderate and vigorous intensity exercise respectively for individuals with CF, but this increase was blunted when compared to healthy subjects. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that moderate intensity exercise is the optimal intensity for individuals with CF, as low intensity exercise increases EPI less than 50% and vigorous intensity exercise is over taxing, such that airflow can be restricted. Although the duration of the beneficial effect is uncertain, exercise can promote greater improvements in gas diffusion and comparable bronchodilation when compared to albuterol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by recurrent respiratory infections and progressive lung disease. Whereas exercise may contribute to preserving lung function, its benefit is difficult to ascertain given the selection bias of healthier patients being more predisposed to exercise. Our objective was to examine the role of self-reported exercise with longitudinal lung function and body mass index (BMI) measures in CF. METHODS A total of 1038 subjects with CF were recruited through the U.S. CF Twin-Sibling Study. Questionnaires were used to determine exercise habits. Questionnaires, chart review, and U.S. CF Foundation Patient Registry data were used to track outcomes. RESULTS Within the study sample 75% of subjects self-reported regular exercise. Exercise was associated with an older age of diagnosis (p = 0.002), older age at the time of ascertainment (p < 0.001), and higher baseline FEV1 (p = 0.001), but not CFTR genotype (p = 0.64) or exocrine pancreatic function (p = 0.19). In adjusted mixed models, exercise was associated with both a reduced decline in FEV1 (p < 0.001) and BMI Z-score (p = 0.001) for adults, but not children aged 10-17 years old. CONCLUSIONS In our retrospective study, self-reported exercise was associated with improved longitudinal nutritional and pulmonary outcomes in cystic fibrosis for adults. Although prospective studies are needed to confirm these associations, programs to promote regular exercise among individuals with cystic fibrosis would be beneficial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite recognized benefits, many children with cystic fibrosis (CF) do not consistently participate in physical activities. There is little empirical literature regarding the feelings and attitudes of children with CF toward exercise programs, parental roles in exercise, or factors influencing exercise experiences during research participation. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to describe the exercise experiences of children with CF and their parents during participation in a 6-month program of self-regulated, home-based exercise. METHODS This qualitative descriptive study was nested within a randomized controlled trial of a self-regulated, home-based exercise program and used serial semistructured interviews conducted individually at 2 and 6 months with 11 purposively selected children with CF and their parent(s). RESULTS Six boys and five girls, ages 10-16 years, and parents(nine mothers, four fathers) participated in a total of 44 interviews. Five major thematic categories describing child and parent perceptions and experience of the bicycle exercise program were identified in the transcripts: (a) motivators, (b) barriers, (c) effort/work, (d) exercise routine, and (e) sustaining exercise. Research participation, parent-family participation, health benefits, and the child's personality traits were the primary motivators. Competing activities, priorities, and responsibilities were the major barriers in implementing the exercise program as prescribed. Motivation waned, and the novelty wore off for several (approximately half) parent-child dyads, who planned to decrease or stop the exercise program after the study ended. DISCUSSION We identified motivators and barriers to a self-regulated, home-based exercise program for children with CF that can be addressed in planning future exercise interventions to maximize the health benefits for children with CF and the feasibility and acceptability to the children and their families.

Abstract
Prescribing exercise at intensities that improve fitness is difficult in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) due to ventilatory limitations and fluctuating health status. Our aim was to determine if children with CF could regulate the intensity of cycle ergometer and treadmill exercise using target ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) derived from the Children's OMNI Scale. We examined prescription congruence (similar oxygen consumption [VO₂] and heart rate [HR] for target RPE) and intensity discrimination (different VO₂ and HR for different RPEs), from cycle to cycle and cycle to treadmill. Subjects were 24 children (12 male, 12 female), aged 10-17 years with varying disease severity. Each child participated in one orientation, one estimation trial (graded maximal exercise test), and two production trials (cycle and treadmill, alternating between RPE 4 and 7). At RPE 4, congruence was evident for both VO₂ and HR on the treadmill. On the cycle at RPE 4, VO₂ was significantly higher only in the first production trial, although HRs tended to be higher in the production trials than the estimation trial. Prescription congruence was also supported at RPE 7, with no significant differences in VO₂ or HR between estimation and production trials on cycle or treadmill. Results fully supported intensity discrimination, with significant differences between VO₂ and HR at RPE 4 and 7 (P < 0.0001). Children with CF appear capable of using the OMNI Scale to regulate cycle and treadmill exercise intensity. Training using this methodology has the potential to promote fitness in children with CF of varying severity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the frequency, type, and perceived effectiveness of physical therapy interventions for children with Friedreich ataxia (FA); identify barriers to therapy; and solicit advice from parents. METHOD Parents of 30 children with FA participated in semistructured interviews. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to analyze the data. RESULTS Sixty-seven percent of children received direct physical therapy service. Stretching and strengthening exercises were used most frequently, and their perceived usefulness increased as the children aged. Seventy-three percent received home exercise programs; 9% implemented these consistently. External barriers included a lack of expert providers and limited reimbursement. Internal barriers included limited time and energy, lack of awareness of services, and children's preferences not to be treated differently. Parents advised therapists to become experts, advocates, and use approaches based on family and child preferences. CONCLUSIONS Outcomes provide a starting point for developing further research, education, and effective interventions for children with FA.

Abstract
It was hypothesised that increased exercise capacity is related to improved quality of life (QoL) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). A 12-week individually tailored unsupervised aerobic exercise programme was offered to 42 patients with CF. At the start and at the end of the exercise programme, data on QoL, current exercise habits and preferences, anthropometric data, exercise test, and lung function test were collected. Adherence was observed by a heart rate (HR) monitor. A total of 24 patients accepted to be enrolled in the exercise programme and 14 completed the programme. Another 14 patients declined to be enrolled in the exercise programme but completed the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire for Adolescents and Adults (CFQ-R 14+). Four patients did not want to participate at all. The 14 patients completing the exercise programme had a significantly increased VO2max, but they showed no significant change in total QoL score. However, the scores in the domain of treatment burden and emotional functioning increased significantly. There was no significant difference in QoL and lung function between patients participating in the exercise programme (n = 24) and non-participants (n = 14). A 12-week individually tailored unsupervised aerobic exercise programme where HR monitors were used significantly affected VO2max. Improvement in QoL could not be demonstrated in this study.

PARTICIPANTS 19 adults with cystic fibrosis admitted to hospital for treatment of a pulmonary exacerbation. INTERVENTION Participants underwent two 15-minute exercise interventions on separate days; one involving a gaming console and one a treadmill or cycle ergometer. OUTCOME MEASURES Cardiovascular demand was measured using heart rate and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Energy expenditure was estimated using a portable activity monitor. Perception (enjoyment, fatigue, workload, effectiveness, feasibility) was rated using a horizontal 10-cm visual analogue scale. RESULTS There was no significant difference in average heart rate (mean difference 3 beats/min, 95% CI -3 to 9) or energy expenditure (0.1 MET, 95% CI -0.3 to 0.5) between the two interventions. Both interventions provided a 'hard' workout (RPE ∼15). Gaming console exercise was rated as more enjoyable (mean difference 2.6 cm, 95% CI 1.6 to 3.6) than formal exercise but they didn't differ significantly in fatigue (-1.0 cm, 95% CI -2.4 to 0.3), perceived effectiveness (-0.4 cm, 95% CI -1.2 to 0.3), or perceived feasibility for inclusion in routine management (0.2 cm, 95% CI -0.7 to 1.1). CONCLUSION Gaming console exercise provides a similar cardiovascular demand as traditional exercise modalities. It is feasible that adults with cystic fibrosis could include gaming console exercise in their exercise program. TRIAL REGISTRATION ACTRN12610000861055.

Abstract
We compared the use of telemonitoring in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Seventy patients (51 CF and 19 COPD) were enrolled in two studies of six months' duration. Patients used a personal data assistant (PDA) attached to a spirometer to score symptoms and to perform daily spirometry. Criteria for diagnosis of exacerbations of COPD and CF were pre-defined. When exacerbations were detected, patients were offered treatment according to a pre-designed protocol. Thirty-two (63%) CF patients and one (5%) COPD patient withdrew from the studies due to lack of adherence to daily recording. For those who remained in the study, COPD patients recorded more study days (139) than CF patients (113), P = 0.03. The median number of exacerbations detected during the study was greater in COPD than in CF patients, although this was not significant. The median number of device-detected exacerbations in the COPD group was significantly greater than in the CF group, P = 0.024. When compared to a parallel period in the previous year, the number of hospitalisations for COPD exacerbations was reduced, whereas the number of intravenous antibiotics in CF patients did not differ. Adherence to telemonitoring was much greater for COPD than CF patients and the results appear to be more favourable for COPD patients than for CF patients.

Abstract
This paper describes a model for developing early, community-based exercise interventions for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The model being described is novel in that it advocates collaborative development of the program by multiple stakeholders (i.e., researchers, people with Parkinson's disease, caregivers, Parkinson's associations and healthcare providers), utilizing a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, and peer-to-peer training by caregivers and person's with PD. Opportunities and challenges of creating community-based exercise programs are discussed.

Abstract
Regular exercise and habitual physical activity are important for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Research has demonstrated the benefits of aerobic, anaerobic, and strength exercise training programs for health and quality of life, however, the CF patient is faced with unique barriers and challenges to participation. Recently, increased levels of habitual physical activity have been shown to slow the decline in lung function in patients with CF, and regular participation in a variety of activities may result in greater adherence in the long term. Research is now available to justify the incorporation of exercise into the routine care of patients with CF. This paper provides the background and rationale for the implementation of exercise and habitual physical activity recommendations by the health care team. Education of health care providers regarding the importance of exercise and habitual physical activity for patients with CF is needed in order for exercise and physical activity to be incorporated as key components of clinical practice and into the lives of patients with CF.

Abstract
PURPOSE This qualitative study explored the perceptions of adults with multiple sclerosis about the positive and negative effects of a progressive resistance strengthening programme; and identified factors that might facilitate or create barriers to participation. METHODS Seven women and two men (mean age 45.6 years, SD 10.7) with multiple sclerosis participated in a 10-week gymnasium based progressive resistance strengthening programme held twice a week. Participants were interviewed at the end of the programme. The recorded interviews were transcribed and then independently coded by three researchers. From these codes, the main themes emerged. RESULTS Reports about the programme were very positive with physical, psychological and social benefits noted. Most participants said that they had less fatigue as a result of the programme. Few negative outcomes were reported and these were minor such as aches and pains. Key extrinsic factors for programme completion were the leaders' encouragement and knowledge of exercise; and the group aspect of the programme. Key intrinsic factors were enjoyment, determination, seeing the signs of progress, and a previously held positive attitude about the benefits of exercise. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that progressive resistance strength training is a feasible fitness option for some people with multiple sclerosis. Factors perceived to be important for programme completion suggest that choosing encouraging leaders with knowledge of exercise, and exercising in a group may contribute to programme success.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although chest physiotherapy is central to the management of cystic fibrosis (CF), adherence among children is problematic. This study explores accounts by parents and children of the difficulties of adhering to chest physiotherapy for cystic fibrosis, and identifies strategies used by families to overcome these. METHODS A qualitative study based on in-depth interviews with 32 children with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis aged 7 - 17 years, and with 31 parents. RESULTS Physiotherapy was frequently described as restrictive, threatening to identity and boring, giving rise to feelings of unfairness, inequality, 'difference', and social stigma. Motivation to adhere was influenced by perceptions of effectiveness that depended on external signs evident during or after the physiotherapy. Motivation was enhanced where parents and children visualized the accumulation of mucus. Some parents had developed distraction techniques that improved the experience of chest physiotherapy but had few opportunities to share these with other parents. CONCLUSION The experience of physiotherapy is problematic to some parents and children. Furthermore, motivation to overcome these problems may be undermined by perceptions of ineffectiveness. Distraction techniques that change the value that the child places on the time spent doing physiotherapy and that reduces their perception of its duration may improve experience and adherence. The potential of visualization techniques to promote adherence should be investigated further.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the positive and negative perceptions of participating in a strength- training programme for adults with cerebral palsy. METHOD Ten adults aged over 40 years with cerebral palsy participated in a group-based 10-week progressive resistance strength-training programme in a community gymnasium. After the programme, each participant was interviewed using an in-depth semi-structured format and the results coded thematically. RESULTS Participants perceived that their strength, and ability to perform everyday activities had improved. However, the main benefit for participants was enjoyment and social interaction. The only negative perceptions related to fatigue, short-term muscle soreness and a feeling that they had not improved as much as they had expected. CONCLUSIONS Enjoyment, a factor that can promote adherence and sustainability, was a key benefit of this strength-training programme for adults with cerebral palsy that led to perceptions of increased strength and physical functioning. These findings suggest that exercise programmes for adults with cerebral palsy should be conducted in a group in the community, thereby promoting community inclusion. In addition, it is important to provide education to participants about the normal responses and expectations of an exercise programme.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced bone mineral density (BMD), altered body composition, impaired motor performance and passive ankle dorsiflexion are side effects of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment. We performed a randomized study investigating whether an exercise program could prevent these side effects. PROCEDURE At diagnosis we randomized 51 ALL patients (median age: 5.4 years) into a group receiving a 2-year exercise program or a control group receiving standard care. BMD of total body (BMD(TB)), lumbar spine (BMD(LS)) and body composition were measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, motor performance with Bayley Scales of Infant Development or Movement-ABC, and passive ankle dorsiflexion with a goniometer. The investigator was blinded to the randomization. RESULTS Body fat increased equally during treatment in both groups. One year after cessation of therapy more rapid decline of excessive body fat was observed in the intervention group than in the controls (P = 0.01). Lean body mass, BMD(TB) and BMD(LS) of both groups decreased equally during treatment and increased equally thereafter. Both groups showed a similar decrease in passive ankle dorsiflexion and motor performance during treatment. Adherence to the intervention program varied considerably. Adherence to intervention: 11% of children exercised daily, 37% > once a week, 16% once weekly, 36% < once a week. CONCLUSIONS The exercise program was not more beneficial than standard care in preventing reduction in BMD, motor performance and passive ankle dorsiflexion than standard care, most likely due to unsatisfactory compliance. Increased BMI and body fat in the intervention group normalized faster after cessation of chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE This qualitative study explored the perceptions of adults with Parkinson's disease (PD) about the positive and negative aspects and outcomes of a community-based progressive resistance strengthening programme (PRST), motivators to begin and continue with the PRST program, and factors that might facilitate or create barriers to participation in and completion of a PRST programme. METHODS Three women and 10 men with PD participated in a 10-week community-based strengthening programme. Participants were interviewed at the end of the programme. A phenomenological theoretical framework and a grounded theory methodology were used to underpin the analysis of these data. RESULTS Four themes emerged about the participants' experiences of the programme. These were: (i) Motivators for participation in the PRST programme were broader than physical outcomes, (ii) the outcomes were broader than just physical outcomes, (iii) the indicators of success for participants varied, and (iv) the participants' experience of a disease-specific exercise programme was positive. CONCLUSIONS The outcomes of this study provide insights, not identified through the quantitative results, into the experiences of people with PD, which have implications for clinicians running future strength training programmes for people with PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The striking increase in the lifespan of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) has largely been attributed to the dramatic improvements in treatment regimens. These treatments are time intensive and may interfere with healthy development and family function. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between psychopathology and treatment adherence in children and adolescents with CF. METHODS Structured psychiatric interviews were performed on 52 patients with CF. Additional information on family function and youth behaviors were also collected. Youth and parent reports of adherence to the CF treatments were obtained and compared with the CF teams' records. RESULTS The mean overall adherence to the CF teams' recommendations was 77-81% for the child and parent reports, respectively. Children with anxiety disorders and families who were more cohesive showed significantly higher rates of adherence to the CF treatments. In addition, children in families with a balance of structure and flexibility also report higher levels of adherence to the CF treatments. CONCLUSIONS Anxiety disorders in children with CF may be associated with increased adherence to the numerous CF treatment regimens. In addition, family patterns that are cohesive and balanced are better able to incorporate the CF treatments into family life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the self-reported degree of adherence to treatment in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), investigating associations with characteristics of the disease and with the degree of adherence perceived by health professionals. METHODS This was a prospective, cross-sectional study involving patients with CF monitored at a Program for Adults with CF. The degree of adherence was evaluated using a questionnaire. Patients were divided into two groups: greater degree of adherence and moderate/poor degree of adherence. Clinical data, Shwachman-Kulczycki clinical score, Brasfield radiographic score and spirometry data were obtained for all patients. RESULTS Out of 38 patients studied, 31 (81.6%) were classified as presenting a greater degree of adherence and 7 (18.4%) as presenting a moderate/poor degree of adherence. The self-reported patient adherence score correlated with the clinical score (r = -0.36, p = 0.028). The self-reported patient adherence score (median = 0.79) was higher than that perceived by health professionals (median = 0.71, p = 0.003). A greater degree of adherence was self-reported for respiratory therapy (by 84.2%), exercise (by 21.1%), prescribed diet (by 65.8%), pancreatic enzymes (by 96.3%), vitamins (by 79.4%), inhaled antibiotic therapy (by 76.7%) and inhaled DNase (by 79.4%). CONCLUSIONS Self-reported adherence of patients attending a Program for Adults with CF was good. The self-reported patient adherence score correlated inversely with the clinical score. Self-reported patient adherence was greater than the adherence perceived by health professionals.
