During the rehabilitation program a multidisciplinary team, consisting of a pneumologist, dietician, psychologist, social worker and several physiotherapists, coach the cystic fibrosis patients. The physiotherapists help with autogenic drainage and aerosol therapy (2-3 times/day) and supervise physical activity (5, 1-hour lasting, training sessions/week: swimming 2, Fitness training 2, 1 session of choice). The dietician calculates basal and theoretical energy needs . A carbohydrate-rich snack before exercise, to improve exercise tolerance and a carbohydrate-protein-rich snack afterwards to improve recuperation is provided.
