| Methods | Design: parallel RCT. |
| Participants | 35 participants aged 8 ‐ 21 years with an FEV1 < 60%, who were admitted for a ≥ 10 day hospitalisation for a CF exacerbation. 29 participants, mean (SD) age 15 (3.5) years, completed the study; 4 dropouts were recorded. Inclusion criteria: not specified. Exclusion criteria: not specified. |
| Interventions | Training for PT management of a CF exacerbation during an inpatient hospital stay. Group 1: standardized moderate‐to‐high intensity resistance and aerobic training consisting of 1 hour of resistance training and flexibility training 3 days per week and 20 ‐ 30 min of aerobic and balance training 2 days per week. Group 2: current standard of care which included 20 ‐ 30 min of variable intensity aerobic training 5 days per week. |
| Outcomes | MST and multiple measures of peripheral muscle performance at admission and discharge. Adverse effects. |
