This study will investigate the short-and long-term effects of the home-based pulmonary rehabilitation on peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis. The participants will be randomized into two groups: control group (usual care and recommendations for practice exercise) and training group, that will perform aerobic (stepping training) and resistance training (lower and upper limbs) for eight weeks, three times a week. At baseline, immediately after finishing and after six months the patients will undergo assessments.
