Summary
The bronchodilators (BD) have been widely used in bronchiectasis (BCE) therapeutic and have
been shown to be effective in improving exercise capacity in patients with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. However their effect on the exercise capacity of
patients with BCE is poorly known. Besides, their respiratory mechanics pattern is also not
known neither their physical activity level (PAL). Therefore, the hypothesis of this study is
that BD are effective in improving exercise capacity of BCE patients. We aim also to
characterize their respiratory mechanics and to evaluate their PAL and its association to
their quality of life.
