The literature regarding patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (non-CF BQ) is scarce, especially regarding the use of cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) to assess the effects of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation programmes (HPRP). The aim was to evaluate the effect of an HPRP on the exercise capacity of non-CF BQ patients using CPET and PA using an accelerometer. Methods: Our study describes a non-pharmacological clinical trial in non-CF BQ patients at the Virgen Macarena University Hospital (Seville, Spain). The patients were randomised into two groups: a control group (CG), which received general advice on PA and educational measures, and the intervention group (IG), which received a specific 8-week HPRP with two hospital sessions. The variables included were those collected in the CPET, the accelerometer, and others such as a 6 min walking test (6MWT) and dyspnoea. The data were collected at baseline and at an 8-week follow-up. Results: After the intervention, there was a significant increase in peak VO2 in the IG, which was not evidenced in the GC (IG 66.8 \u00b1 15.5 mL\/min p = 0.001 vs. CG 62.2 \u00b1 14.14 mL\/min, p = 0.30). As well, dyspnoea according to the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council), improved significantly in IG (2.19 \u00b1 0.57 to 1.72 \u00b1 0.05, p = 0.047) vs. CG (2.07 \u00b1 0.7 to 2.13 \u00b1 0.64, p = 0.36). In addition, differences between the groups in walked distance (IG 451.19 \u00b1 67.99 m, p = 0.001 vs. CG 433.13 \u00b1 75.88 m, p = 0.981) and in physical activity (IG 6591 \u00b1 3482 steps, p = 0.007 vs. CG 4824 \u00b1 3113 steps, p = 0.943) were found. Conclusion: Participation in a specific HPRP improves exercise capacity, dyspnoea, walked distance, and PA in non-CF BQ patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph191711039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,6]],"date-time":"2022-09-06T05:17:23Z","timestamp":1662441443000},"page":"11039","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Exercise Capacity and Physical Activity in Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis after a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Home-Based Programme: A Randomised Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Sindy","family":"Cede\u00f1o de Jes\u00fas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Department, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3696-6064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Virginia","family":"Almadana Pacheco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Department, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, 41009 Seville, Spain"},{"name":"Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8771-7463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agust\u00edn","family":"Valido Morales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Department, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Miriam","family":"Mu\u00f1\u00edz Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8459-5037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rut","family":"Ayerbe Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Department, Virgen Macarena University Hospital, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2267-057X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aurelio","family":"Arnedillo-Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory, Allergology and Thoracic Surgery Department, Puerta del Mar University Hospital, 11009 Cadiz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"88","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arbres.2017.07.016","article-title":"Normativa sobre el tratamiento de las bronquiectasias en el adulto","volume":"54","author":"Olveira","year":"2018","journal-title":"Arch.
