Values are mean ± standard deviations (SD); cm = centimetre; ml = millimetres; min = minute; kg = kilogram; cm = centimetre; m = metre; N = Newtons; Nm, Newton-metres; W = watts; % pred = value reported as percent of predicted value, 1RM = one repetition maximum; CFQ-R = cystic fibrosis questionnaire revised, where higher scores indicate better quality of life [10]; FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC = forced vital capacity; VC = vital capacity; RV = residual volume; TLC = total lung capacity; VO2peak = peak oxygen uptake during volitional maximum treadmill test; OUES = oxygen uptake efficiency slope; higher OUES is associated with higher aerobic capacity [31].
