Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic disorder predominantly affecting the lungs and pancreas. Airway clearance techniques (ACTs) and exercise therapy are key components of physiotherapy, which is considered integral in managing CF; however, low adherence is well-documented. Filamentous fungi have the ability to grow on diverse types of materials, including various organic residues and lignocellulosic biomasses and their conversion products. However, materials for fungal cultivation, particularly those intended for food applications, should be suitable for human consumption. Hence, the use of materials that do not contain physical, chemical, and microbiological hazards is suggested. For this purpose, raw materials for the production of fungal-based food products. Filamentous fungi-based products are available on a commercial scale in the food and biochemicals industries. Various types of fungal fermented foods have been sold in many countries, particularly in Asia, for years, and they contribute to the national economy of the country. For instance, 81 thousand tempe production industries in Indonesia produced 2.4 million tons of tempe per year and generated 2.6 billion USD.
Poor physiotherapy adherence may lead to repeated respiratory infections, reduced exercise tolerance, breathlessness, reduced quality of life, malaise and reduced life expectancy, as well as increased use of pharmacology, healthcare access and hospital admission.

Therefore, evidence-based strategies to inform clinical practice and improve adherence to physiotherapy may improve quality of life and reduce treatment burden.
To assess the effects of interventions to enhance adherence to airway clearance treatment and exercise therapy in people with CF and their effects on health outcomes, such as pulmonary exacerbations, exercise capacity and health-related quality of life. Filamentous fungi have the ability to grow on diverse types of materials, including various organic residues and lignocellulosic biomasses and their conversion products. However, materials for fungal cultivation, particularly those intended for food applications, should be suitable for human consumption.

For instance, 81 thousand tempe production industries in Indonesia produced 2.4 million tons of tempe per year and generated 2.6 billion USD. We searched the Cochrane Cystic Fibrosis Trials Register, compiled from electronic database searches and handsearching of journals and conference abstract books.
We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs of parallel design assessing any intervention aimed at enhancing adherence to physiotherapy in people with CF versus no intervention, another intervention or usual care.
