The ability to perform exercise is an important determinant of both longevity and quality of life for patients with Cystic Fibrosis. There are a variety of physical and behavioural factors that contribute to exercise limitation. These, such as lung function or habitual physical activity, change over time. However, these factors can also be modified by treatments and interventions. This review discusses the various factors that contribute to exercise limitation in Cystic Fibrosis, and how these change with age.
