Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Post-Infectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans (PIBO) is an irreversible obstructive lung disease characterized by subepithelial inflammation and fibrotic narrowing of the bronchioles after lower respiratory tract infection. This disease is diagnosed mainly in children, more frequently before the age of 2 years. Due to symptoms such as dry cough and dyspnea sensation, most of these patients have low levels of physical activity compared to healthy individuals. Physical activity can positively influence oxygen consumption, muscle strength, and quality of life. High levels of oxygen consumption are associated with a lower risk of respiratory disease and hospitalization. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) may be an effective way to improve oxygen consumption, muscle strength, and quality of life in patients with chronic diseases. HIIT has been shown to produce less dyspnea sensation and to be more entertaining in children and adolescents with respiratory disease compared to continuous training. Thus, the investigators propose to perform telematically real-time guided training to reduce travel times and additional costs to patients.

Objective: To analyze the effects of a telematically supervised high-intensity intervallic training program on aerobic fitness, as well as functional/clinical outcomes in patients with PIBO.

Methods: Randomized controlled trial with two groups. Exercise group: 16-week HIIT training conducted telematically; Control group: will follow the routine physician's recommendations. Patients will be recruited at Vall D'Hebrón University Hospital (Barcelona), Niño Jesús University Hospital (Madrid), and Donostia Universitary Hospital (San Sebastián). Criteria for participation: (I) Diagnosis of PIBO; (II) Clinically stable at the time of the assessments; (III) Age between 6 to 20 years old.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Multicenter study, randomized controlled trial in two parallel groups (ratio 1:1), double blinded.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Caregivers Outcome Assessors
The evaluators and care providers will be masked to the allocation of the patients. Given the nature of the intervention, it is not possible to mask patients or monitors in charge of supervising the execution of the exercise training.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Exercise group

16 weeks of a "High Intensity Interval Training" exercise program conducted telematically with real time supervision twice a week.

The exercise program consists of a circuit of exercises aiming to achieve a target heart rate for each fitness level.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise group

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will perform a 16-week High Intensity Interval Training exercise program, twice a week. The intervention will be conducted telematically with real time supervision.

Control group

Routine physician recommendations for physical activity.
