Summary

Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death and is the most frequent cancer in both sexes.Respectable lung tumor with abnormal lung function, usually because of tobacco use, have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), coronary artery disease, and/or old age as underlying comorbidities. Until recent, most exercise prescribed using aerobic exercise programs. Baduanjin is a type of movement-based mind-body intervention. It is a form of traditional practice designed to promote physical and psychological health, manage symptoms, and relieve stress during illness. The impacts of a Baduanjin exercise-based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program for patients recovering from respectable lung tumor on Meridian Energy Analysis Device (MEAD100, Med- Pex Enterprises, Taichung, Taiwan), lung function and heart rate variability has yet to be assessed. This trial evaluates whether the Baduanjin exercise would provide effective lung function, meridian energy and HRV in patients following lung operative.

Conditions

• Lung Cancer Non Small Cell

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	usual care	Routine care
BEHAVIORAL	Walk	Walk 30mins
BEHAVIORAL	Baduanjin	Baduanjin exercise is moderate in intensity and short in duration (a set of Baduanjin takes about 12 minutes). Baduanjin consists of the sitting and standing practicing form. The sitting Baduanjin exercise conforms to the aspects of low-intensity and long-term aerobic activity, which is suitable for the rehabilitation training of patients who are in stable condition during hospitalization. The standing Baduanjin is more suitable for patients with sequential rehabilitation after discharge and can be adjusted based on the patient's condition
BEHAVIORAL	Baduanjin plus walk	Walk 30mins then Baduanjin 12mins per day, 5 times per week.
