A person with Bronchiectasis can practice sport or exercise, although always taking into account your limitations and not to exceed in time or intensity. In fact, specialists recommend that children with bronchiectasis do sport 3 or 4 times a week to help develop their lungs. According to doctors, any kind of exercise is good, especially the one that forces them to perform deep breaths. Previously, people with bronchiectasis should stay home and avoid the practice of sports activities, especially in the days of cold or rain; this is probably due to the little information that existed about the condition. Currently, a person with bronchiectasis can become cycling, playing tennis, or swimming, if you take the necessary security measures.

It is of extreme importance to do as much exercise as you can manage, you should aim to become breathless but not too breathless to be able to talk with ease.Any exercise is great, things like squash should be worked at, gradually increasing your time participating. A team game is good as this promotes socialising, like football or cricket. For some who simply cannot do that level of exercise singing is a great way to exercise your lungs so improving your lung capacity and your lung function. There are groups now that do "walking football or walking tennis" ! A fantastic way to help balance lung function and capacity along with socialising as well.

If you are reading this and you currently choose rest over exercise, you are not optimizing your overall health. I invite you to read medical studies regarding the benefits of activity and exercise. Not only to improve your bronchiectasis condition but your whole body. Physical activity on a regular basis even strengthens the immune system. And a strong immune system is critical for bronchiectasis patients.
Find an activity, sport, etc. that you enjoy. Then keep doing it. It may even replace doing physio (mucus clearance). I have a wide variety of activities I participate in... biking, walking, volleyball, tennis, cornhole, fishing, and more.
Exertion will not and cannot worsen your condition. And it will not worsen an active infection. Many times there was a need for me to exert during an infection because I'm single. I don't have someone to do all things that need to be done on a daily basis. So I do them even when I'm ill. Letting the mucus just lay there is detrimental to your lungs. That's why it is not advisable to become dormant when an episode comes calling. Being dormant is only good if you are a volcano.
