Online yoga and aerobic exercise for children with cystic fibrosis

This trial is testing whether online yoga and aerobic exercise can help children with cystic fibrosis feel better and stronger. Cystic fibrosis causes thick mucus in the lungs, makes it hard to exercise, and can lead to heart problems over time. This study will compare three groups: one doing yoga plus aerobic exercise together, one doing aerobic exercise alone, and one receiving physical activity advice only—to see which approach works best.

Children with cystic fibrosis often struggle with limited exercise capacity, weak muscles, and stiffening of their arteries—all of which can affect how well they feel and live. While exercise is known to help, there's very little research on whether yoga combined with aerobic exercise might offer extra benefits for these children.
