This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Project REACH is studying how to better measure physical fitness and activity in children and teenagers. The study includes children with chronic conditions like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease, children who've had COVID-19, and healthy children. Researchers will have participants do controlled exercise tests on stationary bikes to understand how their bodies respond to activity.
Children with chronic illnesses often can't exercise as much as healthy children, which puts them at risk for serious health problems later in life. Right now, doctors don't have good ways to measure and track fitness in sick children. This study is creating better tools to do that, so doctors can help these children stay as healthy and active as possible.

You'll visit the research center for an exercise test where you'll ride a stationary bike in short bursts with rest periods in between. The test measures how your heart and lungs respond to exercise. Some participants may have blood drawn before, during, and after exercise to help researchers understand what's happening in your body. The visit is a single session, though the exact length depends on which group you're in.
