Overview
The aim of this study is to assess the physical fitness level of children with bronchiectasis. To determine your physical fitness level, we will conduct some game-like tests. These are completely fun and enjoyable tests (such as running or a sit-to-stand test). Additionally, we will ask you some questions. These questions will help us get to know you better and understand how much you enjoy exercise. To measure your growth level, we will weigh you using a scale. We will also assess your muscle strength using a special device. All these tests will help us understand how much your condition affects you.
