Exercise With or Without Electrical Stimulation in Cystic Fibrosis (Part I): Effects on Physical Fitness (ECOMIRIN)

July 23, 2020 updated by: Margarita Perez, Universidad Europea de Madrid

Effects of Exercise With or Without Electrical Stimulation in Physical Fitness in Cystic Fibrosis: an Integrated Vision (ECOMIRIN Study)

This study aims to assess the effects of programmed exercise with or without electrical stimulation in the cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, functional capacity and agility in a group of young patients with Cystic Fibrosis: A randomized controlled trial comparing two interventions with a control group.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control
This group will continue with regular visits to the specialist. This visits include recommendations to improve lifestyle.
Experimental: Exercise-No NMES

This group will continue with regular visits to the specialist. This visits include recommendations to improve lifestyle.

The exercise protocol includes a concurrent exercise intervention (strength training and aerobic training), 3 days a week, 60 minutes sessions.

Exercise-No NMES
Experimental: Exercise-NMES

This group will continue with regular visits to the specialist. This visits include recommendations to improve lifestyle.

The exercise protocol includes a concurrent exercise intervention (strength training and aerobic training), 3 days a week, 60 minutes sessions. Additionally, this group will receive neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) concomitant to the strength training.
