PY - 2019 DA - 2019/01/08 TI - Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behaviour in children with bronchiectasis: a cross-sectional study JO - BMC Pulmonary Medicine SP - 7 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Bronchiectasis is a major contributor to respiratory morbidity and health care utilization in children and youth. Current treatment guidelines for bronchiectasis recommend participation in regular physical activity (PA) to improve aerobic fitness and quality of life (QoL). However, no previous study has assessed physical activity and sedentary behavior in this patient group, and the extent to which children with bronchiectasis meet guidelines for PA is unknown. In the absence of such data, we objectively measured the PA of children with bronchiectasis and compared them to current guidelines.
