Brief 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.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of primary NSCLC based on preoperative pathologic examination
* Had no surgical contraindication to and were willing to undergo video-assisted thoracic surgery or traditional thoracotomy (open) lobectomy
* Agreed to receive exercise performed.

Exclusion Criteria:

* SpO2 \<90% during the 6-min walking test
* With an absence of NSCLC, as confirmed by postoperative pathologic examination or with sub-lobar resection or pneumonectomy
