The present investigation was carried out on patients from the General Hospital of Latacunga (HPGL), whose main objective is to determine the immediate effects of interval aerobic exercises on the health status of patients with COPD. The COPD is a disorder characterized by having a chronic limitation in airflow with persistent symptoms such as dyspnea, cough ad spectoration. The study corresponds to a quali- quantitative approach because the data and measurements that were obtained were through numerical values and words, of a cross-sectional type, because the data are collected once and of a quasi-experimental level since it was carried out a single group. The population consisted of 30 people, who, through the inclusion and exclusion criteria, remained 8 participants who were applied the IAS (interval aerobic exercise) and the acute cardiovascular effects were analyzed by spirometry and telemetry. The investigation was completed by demonstrating that with IAS there is less flow limitation, an increase in lung capacity and an increase in the caliber of the airways that translates into less obstruction without the presence of bronchospasm during the intervention.
