Key result
HIIT matches continuous training for pulmonary rehabilitation in moderate to severe COPD.
Why the study?
The effectiveness of high intensity interval training in pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with COPD was evaluated due to its potential benefits.

A narrative review suggests that High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) can be utilized in the pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with moderate to severe COPD.
Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)is characterized by chronic limitation of airflow associatedwith a variety of pathological pulmonary changes. Pulmonaryrehabilitation programs seek to improve several aspects ofpatients with COPD. Regarding the use of physical conditioningin approaches to COPD, High Intensity Interval Training(HIIT) is defined by high intensity interval sessions with restsessions. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of HIIT inpatients with COPD. Materials and methods: A narrative reviewof the literature was made through the Virtual HealthLibrary databases (LILACS, MEDLINE) and PEDro, using thedescriptors High Intensity Interval Training, Chronic ObstructivePulmonary Disease and Rehabilitation, in order toobtain a synthesis on the insertion of HIIT in the pulmonaryrehabilitation of patients with COPD. Articles that addressedHIIT in individuals with COPD were included and those thatdid not correspond to the topic were excluded. Conclusion: Inspite of the need for further studies on this topic, HIIT can beused in the pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with COPDwith moderate to severe airflow limitation.

Lima et al. (2019) conducted a review in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) vs. Continuous training was evaluated on Effectiveness of HIIT in pulmonary rehabilitation (quality of life, dyspnea, exercise tolerance). High-intensity interval training can be effectively used in the pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with moderate to severe COPD, presenting similar effects to continuous training.
