The Effect of Different Exercise Modalities Applied by Tele Rehabilitation on Functional Capacity, Oxidative Stress and Respiratory Parameters in Cystic Fibrosis Children
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of different exercise modalities applied with tele-rehabilitation on functional capacity, oxidative stress and respiratory parameters in children with cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-shortening autosomal recessive disease among populations of caucasians with a frequency of 1 in 2000 to 3000 live births. The most common problems in these patients are increased bronchial secretion, decreased exercise capacity, and shortness of breath. In addition to progressive respiratory disease, peripheral and respiratory muscle function impairments, inflammation, and contribute to the decrease in exercise capacity in CF patients. Recent studies show that increased oxidative stress and impaired oxidant / antioxidant capacity have an important role in disease progression in CF patients. CF childrens may be more physically inactive. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulators, airway clearance therapies, chest physiotherapy and exercise trainings are treatment options in these populations. Regular exercise which is the component of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), is recommended for patients with CF. Aerobic exercise may help to mobilize secretions, in addition to providing the other known benefits of exercise in healthy individuals. Despite the benefits of PR programmes, low participant uptake, high drop-out rates, financial and transportation difficulties reduced the attendance in these programs. Different telemedicine treatments have been developed to overcome these difficulties and reduce healthcare costs. In recent studies, shows that tele-exercise is a promising new approach to promote exercise in children with CF. Although different exercise modalities such as aerobic exercise training and strength training have been investigated in CF patients, there is no study to examine stabilization exercises in this populations. Also there is no study to evaluate the effect of exercise training on irisin. In addition, although it is known that acute exercise has positive effects on both oxidant and antioxidant markers in the pediatric population, the effect of long-term exercise on oxidative stress has not been adequately studied. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of different exercise training modalities applied with telerehabilitation method on functional capacity, oxidative stress and respiratory parameters in CF patients. . In the study, after measuring respiratory functions, exercise capacity, oxidative stress parameters, peripheral muscle functions, balance, posture, quality of life and physical activity questionnaire, 39 people will be divided into three groups. First group will be applied only online supervised stabilization exercises, Second group will be applied online supervised aerobic exercise training and stabilization exercises. And the third group, the physical activity importance will be explained and appropriate physical activity recommendations will be made. All outcome measures will be repeated after exercise training.
