Objective: To conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis on the effects of traditional Chinese fitness exercises on bone mineral density (BMD) among middle-aged and elderly individuals.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials were collected from seven electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wan fang. Studies were selected according to the PICOS principles.
Background: This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of traditional Chinese exercises on stroke and explore the dose-response relationship between the type of exercise and exercise duration with respect to physical and mental health.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan Fang Database, and China Science and Technology Journal Database to identify published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to stroke patients and traditional Chinese exercise that met the evaluation criteria, from the inception of the database until September 2022. After assessing the quality of the literature, we used RevMan5.
