Summary

This study will investigate the short-and long-term effects of the home-based pulmonary rehabilitation on peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis. The participants will be randomized into two groups: control group (usual care and recommendations for practice exercise) and training group, that will perform aerobic (stepping training) and resistance training (lower and upper limbs) for eight weeks, three times a week. At baseline, immediately after finishing and after six months the patients will undergo assessments.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Training Group

Three sessions per week, each lasting 50 minutes, during eight weeks. * Aerobic training in stepping training. * Resistance training: Three sets of eight repetitions each, in both simultaneous members, using an elastic band. The trained muscles are quadriceps, hamstrings, deltoid and biceps. * Once a week, patients will receive a phone call and every two weeks, patients will get a visit of the researcher at his home.

OTHER

Control Group

* The participants will receive verbal and written information about the importance of physical activity and walk in moderate intensity, at least, three times a week for 30 minutes. * Participants will not receive any supervised physical training. * Once a week, patients will receive a phone call to provide support and general advice.
