Example: Exercise Testing in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis VO 2MAX & Survival WHY: CPET in CF - Applications (CF PATIENTS) • Routine monitoring and assessment of exercise- VO 2 max: related symptoms Low • Pretransplant assessment Medium High • Physical activity counselling/ recommendations/ exercise prescription • Interim functional assessment Nixon PA, Orenstein DM, Kelsey SF, Doershuk CF.

Poor relation between VO 2 peak and FEV 1 Relationship walk distance and FEV 1 (Children with CF) (Adult CF patients) Unpublished observation WKZ Doeleman, Takken, Bronsveld & Hulzebos, Physiotherapy, accepted Gender differences in CF Take-Home Messages • Also in children, never underestimate the power of CPET • When testing children, appropriate equipment and protocol should be used; • Because of the differences in physiology, pediatric reference values for CPET parameters should be used.
