Abstract: The overall objective of this manuscript is to provide respiratory system-specialized kinesiologists with a guide for the effective implementation of a specific movement-based respiratory rehabilitation protocol for patients with COPD. In this study, a literature review was conducted on various research works, and those with a common objective were selected, which was to determine a specific respiratory rehabilitation protocol for COPD patients. The study was approached with a qualitative methodology since the goal was not to quantify the types of exercises and techniques corresponding to a specific treatment for COPD patients. Therefore, those techniques and exercises possible to perform in therapy were described. This study was confirmed that physical exercise is a fundamental tool for addressing COPD patients to improve their quality of life in all aspects, although it was not possible to determine at which stage of COPD each exercise can be carried out. Therefore, it is deemed appropriate to conduct further research to describe this with greater clarity.
