The quality of life was assessed by the SF-36 and PSQI from physical function, mental health, and sleep quality. The changes in mean were calculated from the difference between the current value and the baseline data. Compared with baseline, ∗P < 0.05; compared with the GEG at the same time point, #P < 0.05. CI, confidence interval; WQXG, Wuqinxi group; GEG: general exercise group; SF-36, Short-Form Health Survey; PCS, physical component summary; MCS, mental component summary; PSQI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
