Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common lung disease that causes restricted airflow and breathing problems. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third-leading cause of death worldwide. For conducting a scientometric analysis of research on a total of 4518 publications between 2001 and 2023 from the PubMed database using exercise and COPD as keywords. This scientometric analysis research is to provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific literature on exercise in COPD and to find the following publication trends,collaboration patterns between the authors, countries, universities, and co-occurrence patterns between the authors, keywords, and journals. Findings of major publications from the United States, followed by China and other countries, have limited contributions to this research. The International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, with a count of 498, is the most published manuscript in the COPD field, and the Imprial College of London contributed to most of this COPD research. This analysis can help identify key researchers, institutions, and research topics, leading to a better understanding of the current state of COPD research and potential areas for future exploration.
