Summary
This study tests whether upper and lower limb exercises can improve muscle strength, aerobic capacity, and lung function in children aged 6-18 with cystic fibrosis. Participants will do arm or leg cycling exercises. Researchers will measure changes in walking distance, lung function, and muscle strength. The goal is to see if targeted limb training offers extra benefits beyond standard care.

Active substance
Arm and leg cycle ergometry exercises
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple limb exercises help children with cystic fibrosis breathe easier and get stronger.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to all children with CF. Exercise may not lead to major improvements.
