AB  - <p>Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by chronic limitation of airflow associated with a variety of pathological pulmonary changes. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs seek to improve several aspects of patients with COPD. Regarding the use of physical conditio-ning in approaches to COPD, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is defined by high intensity interval sessions with rest sessions. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of HIIT in patients with COPD. Materials and methods: A narrative re-view of the literature was made through the Virtual Health Library databases (LILACS, MEDLINE) and PEDro, using the descriptors High Intensity Interval Training, Chronic Obs-tructive Pulmonary Disease and Rehabilitation, in order to obtain a synthesis on the insertion of HIIT in the pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with COPD. Articles that addressed HIIT in individuals with COPD were included and those that did not correspond to the topic were excluded. Conclusion: In spite of the need for further studies on this topic, HIIT can be used in the pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with COPD with moderate to severe airflow limitation.</p>
