Although exercise programs have been shown to improve quality of life in certain stages of the disease, the overall impact on this population is unknown. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of physical activity on the self-perception of quality of life, physical wellbeing and dyspnea in lung cancer patients. Thirteen articles were included. Five meta-analyses were performed using the standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) to evaluate the target outcomes. Results showed significant differences in quality of life (p = 0.01; SMD = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.10, 0.75), physical functioning (p = 0.01; SMD = 0.27, 95% CI = 0.06, 0.49) and physical wellbeing (p = 0.01; SMD = 0.37, 95% CI = 0.08, 0.67) in favour of participants who have undergone the programme compared to those who have not, without significant differences between the two groups in dyspnea. This study shows how physical activity interventions could have positive effects on physical functioning and physical wellbeing but could also be effective for improving quality of life in patients with lung cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers15235610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,28]],"date-time":"2023-11-28T07:40:01Z","timestamp":1701157201000},"page":"5610","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Effects of Physical Activity Interventions on Self-Perceived Health Status among Lung Cancer Patients: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-2064-772X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandro","family":"Barrera-Garcimart\u00edn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences-INEF, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3906-3669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Pol\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AFIPE Research Group, Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences-INEF, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"L\u00f3pez-Mart\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncology Service, Hospital Universitario Severo Ochoa de Legan\u00e9s, 28911 Legan\u00e9s, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"Echarri-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncology Service, Hospital Universitario Severo Ochoa de Legan\u00e9s, 28911 Legan\u00e9s, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9458-5251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mois\u00e9s","family":"Marquina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports and Training Research Group, Sports Department, Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences-INEF, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4165-7039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rub\u00e9n","family":"Barakat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AFIPE Research Group, Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences-INEF, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Cordente-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports and Training Research Group, Sports Department, Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences-INEF, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6450-2454","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ignacio","family":"Refoyo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports and Training Research Group, Sports Department, Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences-INEF, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"394","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21492","article-title":"Global Cancer Statistics 2018: GLOBOCAN Estimates of Incidence and Mortality Worldwide for 36 Cancers in 185 Countries","volume":"68","author":"Bray","year":"2018","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
