Hospital exercise program aims to boost lung health in cystic fibrosis patients
NCT ID NCT04075864
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether starting a structured exercise program combined with behavioral counseling during a hospital stay for cystic fibrosis (CF) is feasible. Three adults with CF who were hospitalized for a lung flare-up took part. The goal was to see if this approach could help improve lung function and encourage long-term exercise habits.
