Stepper test for lung and heart health in bronchiectasis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares how the heart and lungs respond to a 6-minute stepper exercise in people with bronchiectasis versus healthy adults. It aims to better understand the physical impact of bronchiectasis on daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding special breathing exercises that strengthen the muscles you use to breathe out, on top of standard lung rehabilitation, helps people with bronchiectasis feel better and breathe easier.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval exercise (short bursts of vigorous activity) is safe and helpful for people with bronchiectasis, a chronic lung condition. If you join, you will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it improves your fitness and quality of life.
This study looks for signs of long-term lung problems in people who smoke or used to smoke, while they are visiting a heart doctor. It uses a simple breathing test and a short questionnaire to check if they might have a condition called airflow limitation.
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 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.
This study looks at people who have bronchiectasis (long-term lung damage that causes ongoing infections) and focuses on how heart-related conditions may affect outcomes during the study. It may help doctors better understand what to monitor and how to manage risk in people with both lung and heart issues.
