Eligibility

All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Part A: CYP participating in Project Fizzyo, and thus aged 6-16 years, diagnosed with CF, under the care of a participating London CF centre, and use a suitable airway clearance device for Project Fizzyo Part B: Confirmed diagnosis of CF, age 8-16 years, able to understand spoken and written English

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Part A: CYP unable to read, understand or complete questionnaires in written English Part B: Having received or on a waiting list for lung transplant, physical activity or exercise ability affected by a condition other than CF

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Part A: maintenance of exercise participation. The definition of exercise maintenance for this study is achieving a daily average of 60 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity (defined as 'a noticeable increase in heart rate' by the World Health Organisation) for the study duration. Continuous (2-3 months) daily heart rate data will be available from the Project Fizzyo activity tracker dataset extracted for this work. Part B: This part of the study is developing a new tool therefore does not require a primary outcome measure

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Part A: 1. Self-efficacy for physical activity is measured using the Children’s Self-perceptions of Adequacy in and Predilection for Physical Activity (CSAPPA) questionnaire at the end of 2-3 months of activity tracking 2. Reported activity levels are measured using the Habitual Activity Estimation Scale (HAES) at the end of 2-3 months of activity tracking 3. Actual activity levels are measured (continuous heart rate and step count data) using the Fitbit Alta HR activity tracker for 2-3 months duration (as part of Project Fizzyo) prior to recruitment to Part A 4. Exercise capacity is measured using the 10m-Modified Shuttle Walk Test (10mMSWT) 2-3 months prior to recruitment to Part A (as part of Project Fizzyo) Part B: This part of the study is developing a new tool therefore does not require a secondary outcome measure. If similar measures or subscales are identified during the literature review process then the most appropriate one will be administered alongside the new tool to support the initial construct validation process. This may act as a secondary outcome measure if appropriate.
