Abstract

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a systemic condition of global scope, whose main characteristic is the limitation of pulmonary airflow causing a reduction in physical fitness, generating a loss in work activities and daily life. It is necessary that the patient with COPD be assisted by a multiprofessional team, emphasizing the physiotherapist, however, it is not fully elucidated the relationship between physical exercise and a physical therapy program in individuals with COPD. Objective: To review studies that analyzed the effect of physical exercise on the population of patients with COPD undergoing physical therapy. Methods: This was a systematic review without a meta-analysis, in which we selected clinical trials published between 2007 and 2016 analyzing the efficacy of physical exercise in the treatment of patients with COPD. We excluded studies with patients >80 years, diagnosed with lung neoplasia. The search was performed in the Scielo and Lilacs databases. Results: In the introductory research, 1,528 articles were found, after filtering 1,475 investigations were excluded, 98 articles were read in their entirety, of which 8 fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this study. Conclusion: Assisted physical exercise and respiratory maneuvers such as diaphragm muscle strengthening are important for the improvement of functional, respiratory and physical capacity in patients with COPD.
