ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Yoga is an emerging exercise choice for people with cystic fibrosis (CF), but evidence of its effect in this population is scarce, with a recent systematic review advocating for further research. Yoga Outcomes Get Assessed in CF (YOGA-CF) is a real-world multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) investigating a bespoke CF-specific online 12-week yoga intervention, vers usual care, to determine effectiveness for adults with CF.

Methods and analysis

A multicentre RCT of adults with CF across the UK. Participants are randomised to usual care or a 12-week online bespoke yoga programme with an expectation of two classes completed weekly. Assessments of lung function, 1 min sit-to-stand, the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised
