Summary

This study tests whether adding exercise training to a standard chest-vibration vest (HFCWO) helps people with cystic fibrosis clear mucus, cough less, and walk farther. Twenty-four adults aged 16–35 will either get the vest plus exercise or the vest alone for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the combo improves breathing and quality of life more than the vest alone.
