Skeletal muscle weakness, exercise tolerance and physical activity in adults with cystic fibrosis.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of muscle weakness and the importance of physical inactivity in cystic fibrosis (CF), and its relationship to exercise tolerance and muscle strength. Exercise tolerance, skeletal and respiratory muscle strength were studied in a group of 64 adults with CF (age 26+/-8 yrs, FEV(1 % predicted) 65+/-19) and in 20 age-matched controls. P...
متن کاملRelationship of skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength and bone mineral density in adults with cystic fibrosis.
Few studies have investigated peripheral muscle strength and quality in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The present study tested the isometric and isokinetic strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings using an isokinetic dynamometer and a strength-testing chair in 25 CF adults and 25 controls. Total body and leg muscle mass were determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and bone minera...
متن کاملImproved pulmonary function and exercise tolerance with inspiratory muscle conditioning in children with cystic fibrosis.
This study documented the effect of inspiratory muscle conditioning in children with cystic fibrosis. Subjects, ages 7 to 14 years, were divided into two groups. The experimental group (n = 10) trained at a high pressure load (> or = 29 cm H2O) and the control group (n = 10) trained at a minimal pressure load (< or = 15 cm H2O), using a threshold loading device. Subjects trained 30 min a day fo...
متن کاملAssociations between genetics, medical status, physical exercise and psychological well-being in adults with cystic fibrosis
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive, life-shortening disease among people of European origin. Type of genetic mutation and regular physical exercise has an impact on clinical outcome. This cross-sectional study explores the associations between genetics, medical status, physical exercise and psychological well-being in adult patients with CF. METHODS Adult p...
متن کاملInspiratory muscle training improves lung function and exercise capacity in adults with cystic fibrosis.
STUDY OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of high-intensity inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on inspiratory muscle function (IMF), diaphragm thickness, lung function, physical work capacity (PWC), and psychosocial status in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). DESIGN Twenty-nine adult patients with CF were randomly assigned to three groups. Two groups were required to complete an 8-week pro...
