    AbstractObjective: This study aimed to compare and rank the effects of aerobic exercise (AE), resistance training (RT), endurance training (ET), and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by network meta-analysis (NMA).Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science were searched to identify randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of exercise training on COPD. The search period began on the date of database establishment and ended in April 8, 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the retrieved articles, extracted relevant data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies. NMA was performed using Stata 15.1 and R 4.2.1.Results: This study included a total of 27 studies involving 1415 patients. The NMA findings indicated that HIIT was the most effective intervention for improving 6-Minute Walk Distance (6MWD) with a SUCRA (Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking) score of 87.68%. In addition, HIIT showed the highest efficacy in improving Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) with a SUCRA score of 73.17%, FEV1/FVC% with a SUCRA score of 79.52%, and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score with a SUCRA score of 73.88%. Conversely, ET was found to be the most effective for ameliorating Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) with a SUCRA score of 73.39%.Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that HIIT may be more effective than endurance exercise, resistance exercise, and AE in improving the 6MWD, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio, and SGRQ scores in patients with COPD. Additionally, ET may be better than resistance exercise, AE, and HIIT in improving FVC in COPD patients. However, due to the limited number of studies conducted on HIIT, more high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are required to verify these conclusions.Copyright © 2024 by Daedalus Enterprises.
