    Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of kinesitherapy for reducing dyspnea and improving quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Materials and Methods: This research study was designed around systematic reviews. The search was limited to full-text articles, and the selected articles underwent critical reading. These were obtained from the Cochrane Plus, PubMed, LILACS, Scielo, Epistemonikos, Elsevier, and EBSCO databases, using the GRADE assessment to identify their level of evidence. Within the 10 pieces of evidence, the type of research was as follows: 40% (4/10) systematic review, 20% (2/10) quasi-experimental, 20% (2/10) experimental, 10% (1/10) meta-analysis, and 10% (1/10) controlled clinical trial. Results: In conclusion, 90% of the studies related to kinesitherapy are effective in treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as it promotes a better quality of life, alleviates dyspnea, increases exercise tolerance, and reduces fatigue associated with health in COPD patients. On the other hand, 10% suggest that it has no relevance for treatment. Conclusions: It was concluded that kinesitherapy is effective for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
