Exercise Capacity and Physical Activity in Children with Cystic Fibrosis, 30 Participants

30 individuals aged 6 to 18 years with cystic fibrosis participated in a cross-sectional study evaluating exercise capacity and daily physical activity. The data includes clinical profiles, spirometry results, bioimpedance, a modified shuttle test, and accelerometer-measured activity over 5 days. The study was authored by Leticia Tosts da Silva and is available via paperswithcode.

Use Cases

• Predict hospitalization time based on exercise capacity and physical activity levels.
• Analyze correlations between lung function (FEV1) and performance on the modified shuttle test.
• Model the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity.
• Investigate associations between nutritional status, antibiotic use, and physical activity metrics.

Strengths

• Includes data from 30 participants with a mean age of 11.2 years and FEV1 of 68.0%.
• Combines multiple measurement types: clinical history, spirometry, bioimpedance, a shuttle test, and 5-day accelerometer data.
• Reports specific median results, such as 820 meters covered in the modified shuttle test and 354.2 minutes of daily sedentary activity.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
