Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effects of lung tumor Daoyin rehabilitation combined with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)on cardiopulmonary endurance and symptom checklist-90(SCL-90)scores in post-operative lung cancer patients,and to explore the impact of"regulating both form and mind"on cardiopulmonary endurance and psychological health.Methods:A randomized,controlled clinical trial was conducted,with 93 patients divided into a TCM control group(TCM group,44 cases)and a combined TCM and lung tumor Daoyin rehabilitation group(TCM+DY group,49 cases).The TCM group received only TCM treatment,while the TCM+DY group received TCM combined with lung tumor Daoyin rehabilitation.Outcomes measured before and after treatment included maximal oxygen uptake(VO2 Max),maximal metabolic equivalent(METs Max),VO2 Max/predicted value,anaerobic threshold(AT),oxygen uptake at AT(VO2@AT),VO2@AT/predicted value,METs at AT(METs@AT),vital capacity(VC Max),forced vital capacity(F VC),forced expiratory volume(FEV),FEV1/FVC ratio,and changes in the SCL-90 symptom scale.Results:After 3 months of intervention,VO2 Max,VO2 Max/VO2 predicted value,METs Max,VC Max,VC Max％,FVC％,and FEV1％significantly increased in the TCM+DY group compared to the TCM group(P＜0.05),indicating better efficacy in the TCM+DY group.Both groups showed a reduction in total SCL-90 scores post-treatment,with significant improvements in depression,anxiety,somatization,and sleep and diet factors in the TCM+DY group compared to the TCM group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combination of TCM and lung tumor Daoyin rehabilitation,namely regulating both form and mind,can effectively improve maximal oxygen uptake,enhance cardiopulmonary endurance,and promote psychological health in patients.
