Exercise capacity and ventilation inhomogeneity in cystic fibrosis: A cross-sectional study.

Exercise capacity and airflow obstruction are associated in this Italian CF cohort. Considering the greater discriminatory power of LCI2.5 over FEV1 and peak work, the Godfrey protocol without gas analysis cannot provide detailed information about lung function or efficiency. However, this incremental protocol without gas exchange measures can still provide the CF team with information about exercise tolerance and disability.
