Exercise study in children and teens with lung or blood conditions
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests how safe and effective a structured exercise program is for children and teens. It also compares results between children with sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and healthy peers (and some teens after COVID-19 infection).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child or teen in Tanner stage 1 to 5 (about ages 10 to 17)
- Have one of these: sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection, or be a healthy control
- For sickle cell disease: be medically stable with no serious sickle-cell complications, and get doctor permission for an exercise test
- For cystic fibrosis: meet CF confirmation testing, be stable with no major lung/circulation complications, and have lung function not too low (FEV1 at least 40% predicted)
- Have an average body size for age and condition (BMI in the average range) and no other health problem that would limit exercise

This study tests whether a long-term endurance exercise program can improve physical fitness, reduce complications, and enhance quality of life for people with sickle cell disease. It is designed for patients whose condition is stable but who have had at least one pain crisis in the last three years.
This study tests a home-based exercise and rehabilitation program delivered through video calls for adults with cystic fibrosis. It aims to see if this remote approach can help improve your fitness and lung health.
This study looks at whether a personalized exercise and nutrition program can help people with sickle cell disease feel better and have fewer pain crises. It is for adults 35 and older with any type of sickle cell disease.
This study looks at how an exercise program affects fitness and lung function in young people who are survivors of certain conditions (heart transplant, leukemia, or lung disease from prematurity). The goal is to see whether exercise can improve breathing and overall physical function safely.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program, done with remote support, is safe and helpful for children with pulmonary hypertension. It aims to improve how well kids function day-to-day while they stay on their usual PH medications.
This trial compares physical abilities between children with cystic fibrosis and healthy children. It aims to find differences that could lead to better care and therapies.
