Background and objective: To describe the effect of the pulmonary rehabilitation program on the functional, psychopathological condition and health-related quality of life in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease of different severity. Method: Case study in three patients with different severity of the disease. An evaluation was carried out at the beginning and at the end, recording sociodemographic variables, spirometry, dyspnea, distance in the six-minute walk test and quality of life. Intervention: They carried out 8 weeks of training, three times a week of aerobic treadmill exercise starting at 60% of the estimated peak VO2, increasing to 70% after 3 weeks; After 6 weeks it increased to 80%, individual and group educational meetings were held. Results: Smoking is a risk factor present in COPD cases; Improvement was found between 25 – 35 meters in the 6-minute walk test; All three cases obtained a decrease in dyspnea assessed with the MRC scale by more than one point; Health-related quality of life had changes of 4% in the SGRQ questionnaire scores and anxiety and depression levels also decreased in all three cases at the end of the program. Conclusions: A pulmonary rehabilitation program structured in 24 sessions over 8 weeks is a treatment alternative to improve different aspects related to health in three patients with COPD of different severity, obtaining clinically significant changes.
