As the COVID-19 outbreak escalated into a global pandemic, there was a significant surge in mental health issues worldwide. Over the past three decades, traditional Chinese exercises (TCEs) has gained increasing recognition for its ability to regulate mental well-being. The aim of this study (PROSPERO CRD42024516002) was to comprehensively assess and carry out a meta-analysis on the impact of traditional Chinese exercise on personal mental well-being amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Literature with publication dates from 2020 to 2023 was searched in four databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, Pubmed and Web of science. The literature was selected layer by layer according to the PRIMA guidelines, and then the quality of the included literature was assessed using the Cochrane Risk assessment tool.
A total of 174 articles were screened, and 10 studies met the criteria and were included in the study. The results showed that TCEs had a positive effect on anxiety symptoms [SMD = -1.68, = 98.40, 95%CI = (-2.80, -0.56), = 0.00] and depressive symptoms [SMD = -1.23, = 89.23, 95%CI = (-1.87, -0.58), = 0.00]. The data of subgroup analysis showed that Baduanjin exercise had the best effect on reducing anxiety [SMD = -2.29, = 98.3, 95%CI = (-3.69, -0.89), < 0.000]. Individuals who practiced TCEs less than or equal to 30 min each time had the best effect on anxiety [SMD = -2.06, = 96.2%, < 0.000] and depression [SMD = -1.90, = 68.4, 95%CI = (-2.25, -1.55), = 0.042]. Individuals who trained TCEs more than 7 times a week were most likely to reduce symptoms of anxiety [SMD = -4.30, = 92.6, 95%CI = (-6.78, -1.81), < 0.000] and depression [SMD = -2.39, = 0.0, 95%CI = (-2.91, -1.87), = 0.625]. It is worth noting that TCEs had the most significant effect on the improvement of depression in people aged 30-50 years [SMD = -1.58, = 89.0, 95%CI = (-3.05, -0.10), = 0.003].
During the global pandemic, traditional Chinese sports have shown a positive and significant impact on reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and have played a significant role in improving mental health problems.

随着 COVID-19 疫情升级为全球大流行,全球范围内的心理健康问题显著增加。在过去的三十年中,传统中医(TCE)因其调节心理健康的能力而得到越来越多的认可。本研究(PROSPERO CRD42024516002)旨在全面评估和进行荟萃分析,以了解在 COVID-19 大流行期间,传统中医运动对个人心理健康的影响。
从 2020 年至 2023 年,在四个数据库(中国知网、万方、PubMed 和 Web of Science)中搜索文献。根据 PRIMA 指南逐层筛选文献,然后使用 Cochrane 风险评估工具评估纳入文献的质量。
共筛选出 174 篇文章,10 项研究符合标准并纳入研究。结果表明,TCE 对焦虑症状有积极影响[SMD=-1.68, =98.40,95%CI=(-2.80,-0.56), =0.00]和抑郁症状[SMD=-1.23, =89.23,95%CI=(-1.87,-0.58), =0.00]。亚组分析数据表明,八段锦运动对减轻焦虑的效果最佳[SMD=-2.29, =98.3,95%CI=(-3.69,-0.89), <0.000]。每次练习 TCE 时间不超过 30 分钟的个体对焦虑的效果最佳[SMD=-2.06, =96.2%, <0.000]和抑郁[SMD=-1.90, =68.4,95%CI=(-2.25,-1.55), =0.042]。每周训练 TCE 次数超过 7 次的个体最有可能减轻焦虑症状[SMD=-4.30, =92.6,95%CI=(-6.78,-1.81), <0.000]和抑郁[SMD=-2.39, =0.0,95%CI=(-2.91,-1.87), =0.625]。值得注意的是,TCE 对 30-50 岁人群抑郁症状的改善效果最为显著[SMD=-1.58, =89.0,95%CI=(-3.05,-0.10), =0.003]。
在全球大流行期间,传统中医运动对减轻焦虑和抑郁症状表现出积极而显著的影响,在改善心理健康问题方面发挥了重要作用。
