Abstract
To compare the effects of physical activity on improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL), six minutes walking test (6MWT), and oxygen consumption (VO Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched for relevant articles from five databases, including Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PEDro, Cochrane, and additional resources. Study quality was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institution (JBI). RevMan 5.3 software was used to perform the meta-analysis. Fifteen randomized controlled trial studies met the criteria. Analysis of the subgroup before COVID-19 showed that PA had a significant effect on HRQOL, as measured by MLHFQ (SDM: -0.27, 95% CI: -0.47 to -0.07, n=590), KCCQ (SDM: 2.10, 95% CI: 0.74 to 3.46, n=53), 6MWT (SMD: 1.63, 95% CI: 0.80 to 2.46, n=284), and VO The PA could increase HRQOL, 6MWT, and VO
