Breathing training plus exercise to improve breathing capacity
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether breathing exercises combined with exercise training can improve how much and how well you can breathe during activity in people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. It may help by improving breathing efficiency and exercise tolerance, but you must be stable and healthy enough to safely exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of bronchiectasis not caused by cystic fibrosis
- You are currently stable—no recent worsening flare and no change in breathing medicines in the last 3 weeks
- You can participate safely in exercise (no major other illnesses or problems with your nerves or bones that limit exercise)
- Your heart condition is not advanced heart failure
- You are not currently taking antibiotics, and you have not had a recent flare in the last 3 weeks
- You have not been in a pulmonary rehabilitation program in the last 6 months

This trial tests whether a breathing muscle exercise can help people with bronchiectasis breathe easier. It looks at how the exercise affects your ability to cough and clear mucus.
This trial tests whether a special breathing exercise device can help people with bronchiectasis. You may qualify if you are between 18 and 30, have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis, and are feeling stable.
This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to regular breathing exercises helps people with moderate to severe COPD breathe better. It is for adults between 35 and 50 who are otherwise healthy enough to exercise.
This study tests whether a breathing muscle training program (using an app) can improve endurance in healthy cyclists and triathletes. If you are a competitive road cyclist or triathlete, this might help you learn more about your breathing and performance.
