Muscle dysfunction and the diminution of exercise tolerance have been little studied in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, both seem to be highly prevalent, therefore emphasizing the need to accurately identify muscle dysfunction and reduced functional exercise capacity, in order to improve the current knowledge on the responsible mechanisms and the clinical consequences. This thesis is carried out in two parts. The first one presents a qualitative synthesis of the different methods to evaluate muscle function in pediatric CF individuals, and then a clinical investigation of muscle oxygen consumption kinetics during a walking task. The second part reports an investigation of the clinimetric properties of the one-minute sit-to-stan...
