C67 SUPPURATIVE LUNG DISEASES IN CHILDREN: Step It up: higher Step Count Is significantly Correlated with Better Exercise Capacity In Individuals With Cystic Fibrosis

PA in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) improves exercise capacity, slows decline in lung function, increases mucus clearance and improves health-related quality of life. Lung function was measured via spirometry and was compared to both FitBit step count and the number of MSWT shuttles complete...

Description
Summary:PA in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) improves exercise capacity, slows decline in lung function, increases mucus clearance and improves health-related quality of life. Lung function was measured via spirometry and was compared to both FitBit step count and the number of MSWT shuttles completed using multiple linear regression analysis and Spearman Rho correlation.
