About

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multi-system inherited disease. It's a common autosomal recessive illness. It mostly affects the lungs, liver, and pancreatic exocrine glands, as well as the intestines. The production of viscous mucus and an environment prone to chronic airway blockage. This allows harmful microorganisms to infect the lungs. The role of Exercise as a prognostic indicator or therapeutic aid is important in CF research around the world. The objective of this study is to find out the Effects of Breathing Exercises Combined with Endurance and Strength Training on Dyspnea and Quality of Life of patients with Cystic Fibrosis. It will be Quasi Experimental study. Treatment will be given to all participants 3 sessions in a week for 4 weeks. Pre and Post treat-meant evaluation will be checked by CFQ-R+14. All patients will be treated with exercise program of Active cycle breathing techniques(ACBT), Pursed lip breathing, Endurance Exercise 20 to 30 min ( walking, cycling) and strength training with Thera-Bands (Bilateral arm raising, Bilateral knee extension). Exercise capacity will be measured with 6MWT. Dyspnea and fatigue will be measured with Borg scale.
