High-Intensity Interval Exercise in Bronchiectasis Patients
Investigation of the Effectiveness of High-Intensity Interval Exercise in Bronchiectasis Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on the symptoms of bronchiectasis in patients with the disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does HIIE improve respiratory function in patients with bronchiectasis? 2. Does HIIE increase functional capacity, peripheral muscle strength, and quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis? 3. Does HIIE reduce the severity of dyspnea, cough symptoms, and fatigue in patients with bronchiectasis? The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. Participants were divided into two groups: intervention and control. Participants will: The intervention group will receive HIIE training three days a week along with airway clearance techniques. The control group would receive only airway clearance techniques. Airway clearance techniques will be provided clinically (three days a week) and at home, according to the needs of the individuals each day of the week.
