Summary

The aim of this project is to examine the short and long term effects of an 8 week, twice weekly, outpatient exercise training program for people with bronchiectasis. Participants will be randomly allocated to undergo a supervised exercise training program at The Alfred, Austin Hospital or Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

The hypotheses of this study are:

1. Patients with bronchiectasis who complete an exercise program will have a higher exercise capacity and better quality of life and these improvements will be sustained for up to 12 months after completion
2. Exercise training will significantly reduce the incidence of pulmonary exacerbations, use of antibiotics and rate of hospitalisation
