Brief Summary:
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease characterized by abnormal chloride transport in epithelial tissues. Inflammation is a key component contributing to the main alterations induced by the disease. The increase in life expectancy comes with a higher prevalence of CF-related comorbidities, but also with new emerging complications directly related to aging. Physical fitness and exercise practice have been previously associated to survival and better quality of life in patients with cystic fibrosis. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the effects of a remotely supervised resistance exercise program on lung function, muscle strength, body composition, quality of life and inflammatory markers in adult patients with cystic fibrosis.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Telematic Exercise
A remotely supervised resistance exercise program will be carried out for 8 weeks, with three weekly sessions lasting approximately 60 minutes each. Training will be performed in groups of four patients, according to their lung function/physical fitness. The first training session will be on site (University) for familiarization, planning and adjustment of the exercises, and the following sessions will be performed online. Each session is divided into: (i) Warm-up and joint mobility; (ii) main part: strength exercises for different muscle groups; and (iii) cool down: stretching and breathing exercises.
 Other: Exercise
Eight-week program of a remotely supervised resistance exercise. Frequency: three times per week. Duration: 60 minutes per session. Training program: warm-up and joint mobility; strength exercises for different muscle groups; and cool down (stretching and breathing exercises).
No Intervention: Control
Control group will follow routine recommendations from the multidisciplinary CF team.


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in peripheral muscle strength. Upper and lower limb muscle strength will be evaluated using the 5 maximum repetition test in specific strength machines. Handgrip strength will be measured with a dynamometer. [ Time Frame: Baseline and 8 weeks ]
    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

  2. Change in body composition (muscle mass and skeletal mass index - kg/m2) measured through dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 8 weeks ]
    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

  3. Change in plasmatic levels of Klotho [ Time Frame: Baseline and 8 weeks ]
    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

  4. Change in plasmatic levels of interleukins (IL-8 and IL-10) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 8 weeks ]
    Change from baseline to 8 weeks


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Pulmonary Function (Lung Function) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 8 weeks ]
    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

  2. Change in quality of life evaluated using the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire (CFQ-R +14). Scores range from 0 to 100 with higher scores corresponding to better quality of life. [ Time Frame: Baseline and 8 weeks ]
    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

  3. Change in inspiratory muscle strength (MIP) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 8 weeks ]
    Change from baseline to 8 weeks

  4. Change in functional capacity (30 seconds sit-to-stand test) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 8 weeks ]
    Change from baseline to 8 weeks
