The TGlittre-P is a reliable tool in children and adolescents with CF and healthy controls. The TGlittre-P appears not to be sensitive enough to discriminate a group of children and adolescents with mild cystic fibrosis from healthy counterparts.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONTGlittre-P is a multitasking test that has been used to assess the functional capacity of children and adolescents with chronic diseases.TGlittre-P has excellent reliability in children and adolescents with and without CF.TGlittre-P differences time greater than 12% could indicate changes in the functional capacity of children and adolescents with CF.Other functional capacity tests may be preferred to detect continuous increases in functional capacity through rehabilitation or training, whether children and adolescents obtain performance values close to 100% of predicted.
