Baduanjin，a type of Qigong which belongs to aerobic exercise, is very popular in China. There is increasing evidence to support its positive effects on health outcomes in various groups of people with physical and mental disorders. In college students, it may enhance cardio respiratory function, lower limb function, and flexibility compared with usual exercise. However, there is no previous relevant randomized controlled trials on the health promoting effects of Baduanjin exercise in targeted fatigued lung cancer patients. Lung cancer survivors can experience fatigue due to multiple reasons that can strongly impact their quality of life throughout the remainder of their life. Therefore, this randomized controlled trial in China was designed to assess the health promoting effects of Baduanjin exercise in fatigued lung cancer patients with the expectation of improvement in physical and psychological health.
