There is no so-called best exercise method for bronchiectasis, but we need to carry out the exercise suitable for the condition, which mainly includes breathing exercise, sports exercise and so on.
1. Breathing exercise: some patients with bronchiectasis will have lung function decline, so patients with bronchiectasis with lung function decline should carry out lung function exercise, including deep inhalation, blowing up balloons, etc. Those without lung function decline can also carry out preventive lung function exercise.
2. Exercise: Jogging, walking, hiking and other low- and medium-intensity aerobic exercises can be performed according to the patient’s condition and the specialist’s opinion, which can help to improve the lung capacity, but attention should be paid to gradual and orderly progress, avoiding too high-intensity exercise.
It is recommended that patients consult a specialist to choose the appropriate exercise according to their condition and physical condition.
