Comparing exercise responses in bronchiectasis patients and healthy individuals

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the cardiopulmonary responses of individuals with bronchiectasis during a 6-minute stepper test (6MST) and compare these responses to those of age and sex-matched healthy controls. The study will evaluate exercise capacity and physical activity levels, utilizing the 6MST and the 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1STS) to gather data. By investigating these parameters, the study seeks to provide insights into the exercise limitations faced by bronchiectasis patients compared to healthy individuals.
