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.

Physical Activity Level
Physical activity level will be assessed using the Children's Physical Activity Questionnaire (CPAQ) developed by Kowalski et al. In this study, the Turkish version of the questionnaire, whose validity and reliability were established by Erdim et al., will be used . The scale evaluates physical activities (PA) performed in the past 7 days and their frequency. Responses are given on a five-point scale, where 5 indicates the highest and 1 the lowest level of physical activity. The total score of the questionnaire is calculated by averaging the scores from 9 questions. A higher score indicates a higher level of physical activity.
