Longitudinal Determinants of Peak Aerobic Performance in Children with Cystic Fibrosis. Klijn PH van der snare J, Kimpen JL, Helders PJ van der Ent CK Reprinted with permission from Chest. 2003;1 24:221 5-221 9 ?© 2003 American community of Chest Physicians.

Background: Several cross-sectional studies in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have shown that nutritional status and lung function are important determinants of peak aerobic capacity (peak oxygen uptake [VO^sub 2^peak]). In order to account for individual changes, the aim of this cogitation was to determine the longitudinal relationship of changes in nutritional status, lung function, and VO^sub 2^peak in children with CF Design and Methods: Fat-free mass (FFM) lung function, and VO^sub 2^peal
