Objective : To evaluate the efficacy of low intensity hairmyers exercises on the functional capacity using six minutes walking test (6MWT) and quality of life according to st George’s Respiratory Questionare (SGRQ) on Cronic Pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.

Methods : pre- experimental intervention, before and after on one subject group. Samples use hairmyers exercise for eight weeks, five times a week, of which two are done of the researcher. 6MWT is taken pre, on week four, and post exercise periods. SGRQ is taken pre and post eexercise periods.

Location : Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital and Persahabatan Hospatal

Subject : 17 moderate to severe COPD patients participated in the study. Three drop out laing 14 patients out of eight minimum samples.

Results : mean differeance of 6 MWT between pre and post intervention, and between fourth week and post intervention shows highly significant result on Activity, Impact and total component (p<0.05).>

Conclusion : The functional capacity based on 6MWT and quality of life according to SGRQ on COPD patients significantly increases after doing hairmyers exercises.
