“…[15, 16] Qigong trains the body and mind to improve and recover the Qi; therefore, it is defined as “the art and science of refining and cultivating ( gong ) internal energy ( qi ), with the aim to encourage and accelerate the body’s ability to heal itself.” [14, 17–19] There are many styles of Qigong, such as Wuqinxi (“Five Animals Qigong”) and Baduanjin (“Eight Section Brocade Qigong”), Yijinjing, and Liuzijue. Previous studies have shown that Qigong exercise can benefit patients with multiple diseases such as cancer, [20] cardiovascular system disease, [12, 21] mental disease, [22, 23] and Parkinson’s disease, [24] and it promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, reduces clinical somatic symptoms and stabilizes the sympathetic nervous system.…”

Objectives Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one global disease. Lung function gradually declines. Medication does not fully reverse the airflow limitation. Qigong’s role in COPD rehabilitation has been assessed. We aimed to assess the effects of Qigong practised by COPD patients. Methods Eligible articles were obtained through a systematic search. The databased were search on October 8, 2017, and the date range of the searches in the electronic databases had no upper limit. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to evaluate the quality of the eligible studies. Mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were utilized to analyse the results. Results Ten included studies contained 993 participants. Statistical improvements occurred in the 6-min walk distance (6MWD) (MD, 30.57 m; 95% CI, 19.61–41.53 m; P < 0.00001); forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) (MD, 0.32 L; 95% CI, 0.09–0.56 L; P < 0.001); forced vital capacity rate of 1 s (FEV1/FVC) (MD, 2.66%; 95% CI, 1.32–2.26%; P = 0.0001); forced expiratory volume in 1 s/predicted (FEV1/pre) (MD, 6.04; CI, 2.58–9.5; P = 0.006); Monitored Functional Task Evaluation (MD, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.78–0.99; P < 0.00001); COPD Assessment Test for exercise (MD, − 5.54; 95% CI, − 9.49 to − 1.59; P = 0.006); Short Form-36 Health Quality Survey (SF-36)–General Health (MD, 5.22; 95% CI, 3.65–6.80; P < 0.00001); and Short Form-36 Health Quality Survey (SF-36)–Mental Health (MD, − 1.21; 95% CI, − 2.75 to 0.33; P = 0.12). Conclusions In this meta-analysis of RCTs between ten included studies, we found that Qigong can improve COPD patients in lung function, exercise capacity and quality of life who were in the stable stage.

“…When referring to the mental health needs of children and adolescents, emotional, academic, behavioral, and psychological needs are included and when young people need more intensive outpatient contacts or inpatient care, the demands on youth‐adapted care are at the forefront. The importance of flexibility (Ward, 2014), therapeutic alliance (Gueguen et al., 2017; Kaplan & Racussen, 2012; Law et al., 2020; Ramjan, 2003), trust (Kelada, Hasking, Melvin, Whitlock, et al., 2018; Wallström et al., 2021), and an approach that promotes personal recovery (Honey et al., 2013; Schneidtinger & Haslinger‐Baumann, 2019) are described consistently in a number of articles. The perspectives and reflections of young people themselves may be considered important for how feedback is given to mental health services (Rosado, 2019; Salamone‐Violi et al., 2015;Schneidtinger & Haslinger‐Baumann, 2019; Wallström et al., 2021).…”

Background: Recovery from mental illness and mental health problems is relatively well-researched among adults, but evidence that focuses on the recovery experiences of young people and what characterizes it is scarce. With this in mind, this article aims to map out the existing research in order to identify prevailing knowledge about the recovery of young people between the ages of 12 and 25. Method: Drawing on scoping review methodology, this article is based on an analysis of 33 articles conducted in the USA, Australia, and Europe. Results: Our findings reveal that young people express both similar and divergent lines of reasoning about recovery compared with adults. Our findings also indicate that young people often fluctuate in the way they view recovery, and that they thus tend to be ambivalent about what recovery means. Parents usually highlight the importance of professionals facilitating recovery, while care staff problematize the organizational frameworks available as aggravating circumstances for implementing personal recovery. Young people, parents, and care staff consistently describe recovery as a way to, despite lingering problems, enable a satisfying life. Conclusions: Through this review, we outline the need for a more distinct focus on agency and participation in young people's recovery processes, at the same time as family involvement needs to be further investigated and operationalized. Key Practitioner Message• Recovery theory is a prevalent model of mental health. Though recovery itself remains a core component in mental health literature, it is seldom found in child and adolescent psychiatry. • Agency and participation are suggested as important factors to attend to for practitioners working with young people's mental health. • The family's involvement in the recovery process seems to be unclear, meaning that more attention is needed as to how families become significant and what is considered to contribute to recovery within the immediate network. • To make the recovery process more concrete, further research on young people's recovery is needed and especially their subjective experiences of it.

“…To confirm these hypotheses, future research should address the effects of physical exercise on interoception in patients with AN. To our knowledge, a previous study explored the effects of the practice of group Qigong on interoception in patients with AN [ 51 ], with beneficial effects in reducing the cleavage between body and mind. However, while this practice is based on the principles of stillness, letting go, openness, and relaxation, the characteristics of physical exercise practised by patients with AN are the opposite.…”

The Fitter I Am, the Larger I Feel—The Vicious Circle of Physical Exercise in Anorexia Nervosa

Introduction: Body image distortion is a core symptom of anorexia nervosa (AN), embodying dissatisfaction and overvaluation of body appearance and weight. Body image distortion is an important factor in the maintenance of weight loss behaviours such as compulsive physical exercise. Conversely, physical exercise seems to have an aggravating effect on body image in patients with AN, but the evidence is still poor. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between body image distortion and physical exercise in AN in order to understand whether physical exercise may play a specific role in body image distortion beyond psychopathological severity. Methods: Forty patients with AN and 21 healthy controls were tested for body image distortion and different proxies of physical exercise. Univariate correlations tested the relationship between body image distortion and physical exercise in AN and control groups. Then, to experimentally assess the effect of exercise on body image distortion, participants were invited to rate their body image before and after a standardised effort test. Results: In the AN group, a correlation was found between physical activity and body image distortion (p < 0.01), which was still significant after controlling for psychopathological severity. No correlation was found in healthy controls. After a standardised effort, patients with AN had higher increases in body image distortion than healthy controls (almost 4 kg/m2 vs. 0.8 kg/m2) (p < 0.01). Discussion: Physical exercise may contribute to the distortion of body image in anorexia nervosa and explain the paradoxical augmentation of unhealthy exercise despite ongoing weight loss.
