Brief summary
The present study aims at evaluating the effect of respiratory muscle training in adult patients with cystic fibrosis on lung function, exercise performance and quality of life.
Interventions
Training program of the respiratory muscles in endurance by using sustained isocapnic hyperpnea
Training program of the inspiratory muscles in resistance by using repeated inspiratory maneuvers against a resistance
Sponsors
Study design
Intervention model description
The patients will be randomized in 2 different groups, one being involved in an endurance respiratory muscle training program, the other being involved in resistance inspiratory muscle training.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients with a clinical diagnosis of cystic fibrosis * Patients in steady state
Exclusion criteria
* Patients during exacerbation * Patients treated by oral corticotherapy (\>0.5 mg/kg/j during \>7 days) during the past 2 months * Pregnant patients
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Respiratory muscle endurance | Change from baseline (i.e. T0) measured immediately after the 8 weeks of intervention (T1) | Total breathing duration (in min) measured during an incremental hyperpnea test |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Respiratory muscle strength | Change from baseline (i.e. T0) measured immediately after the 8 weeks of intervention (T1) | Peak pressure (in mmHg) during maximal inspiratory and expiratory maneuvers |
| Maximal cycling performance | Change from baseline (i.e. T0) measured immediately after the 8 weeks of intervention (T1) | Peak maximal power output (in W) during an incremental cycling test |
| Quality of life of patients after the intervention | Change from baseline (i.e. T0) measured immediately after the 8 weeks of intervention (T1) | Score obtained during the questionnaire CQF14+ |
