Abstract

Exercise has much to offer to cystic fibrosis patients. Overcoming the limits of decreased pulmonary function by increasing fitness has a considerable potential to improve patients' quality of life; decreased breathlessness allows greater mobility and participation with peers in social and sporting activities, improves confidence and self-esteem and creates a greater pleasure in life for the individual patient. There are also immediate therapeutic gains and potentially long-term gains with improved survival. Above all, cystic fibrosis patients enjoy and prefer exercise as a therapeutic option to most other forms of therapy.
