“…The underlying mechanisms are not fully elucidated and might be multifactorial. First, exercise results in an increased sputum expectoration [89], possibly due to increased ventilation, the induction of whole-body vibrations or slightly enhanced bronchodilation based on increased release of catecholamines [90]. Second, exercise might exhibit an anti-inflammatory response enhancing the immune system [91].…”

A relevant proportion of children and adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) have a marked decrease in exercise tolerance, which can be partly related to impaired muscle function and decreased physical activity levels in daily life, in addition to lung disease. Preliminary findings suggest that patients with non-CF bronchiectasis face the same problems. These patients might be excellent candidates for exercise and physical activity interventions. This review elaborates on the rationale for exercise training and activity behaviour changes and summarizes the existing evidence for these rehabilitation strategies in patients with bronchiectasis, both CF and non-CF bronchiectasis. Furthermore, practical considerations and safety aspects are discussed.
