While non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and biologic therapies are standard treatments, exercise therapy is crucial for maintaining mobility and function. This study aimed to comprehensively compare the effects of 12 exercise interventions on AS patients\u2019 disease activity and chest expansion (CE) via network meta-analysis (NMA) and dose-response meta-analysis, and explore dose-dependent effects to inform personalized exercise prescriptions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science until December 31, 2024. Eligible studies included adults with American College of Rheumatology\/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR\/EULAR)-diagnosed AS, comparing exercise with conventional treatment\/placebo\/no intervention, with outcomes of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), and CE. Two reviewers screened literature, extracted data, and assessed bias using the Cochrane Handbook. NMA and dose-response analysis (expressed as metabolic equivalents of task (MET) minutes\/week) were performed (Prospero: CRD420251001511).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty-two RCTs with 1757 participants were included. NMA showed hippotherapy simulation (HS) was most effective for reducing BASFI; aerobic exercise (AE) + Pilates was superior for BASDAI and BASMI; AE + Stretching Exercise (SE)+Supervise best improved CE. Dose-response analysis revealed non-linear relationships, with specific effective dose ranges identified for each outcome.
