Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an illness characterized by progressive aggravation of airflow limitation, which seriously affects patients' quality of life, and even life-threatening. The lung function of COPD patients is chronically and progressively deteriorated. Among them, the lung function of early COPD patients deteriorates rapidly, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) declines faster than other stages. If diagnosed early and effectively treated in time, it can greatly affect the prognosis. As a traditional exercise regimen, Baduanjin can improve lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life of COPD patients. However, high-quality evidence-based medical evidence is so far be lacking to confirm the effectiveness of Baduanjin in reducing or preventing mild COPD lung function decline.
