Summary

This study is creating new ways to test exercise in children with cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, or long COVID. Current tests are designed for healthy athletes and don't work well for kids with these conditions. Researchers will follow 240 children over 3-4 years, measuring their body responses to exercise. The goal is to develop a toolkit that helps doctors and families know what level of physical activity is safe and helpful.
