This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a special home-based breathing and respiratory muscle training program can help people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (a lung condition causing chronic cough and shortness of breath) exercise better and improve their lung function. Half of the participants will receive standard care from their doctor, while the other half will receive standard care plus 8 weeks of guided breathing training delivered at home through a program called LungTrainers Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Researchers want to see if this additional training improves how well people can exercise, how their lungs work, and their overall health.
People with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis often struggle with shortness of breath and limited exercise ability, which can affect their quality of life. This trial exists to find out whether targeted breathing and respiratory muscle training at home—supported by a health coach—can be an effective way to help these patients breathe better and stay more active.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to either standard care from your doctor or to standard care plus an 8-week home-based breathing training program. The breathing training group will work with a health coach who guides you through specific breathing exercises and respiratory muscle training that you do at home at your own pace. Throughout the study, your exercise ability, lung function, and overall health will be measured to see if the breathing training helps you feel better and exercise more easily.
