The results of the present thesis emphasize mind–body exercise could improve and promote physical health. Tai Chi and Qigong have shown potential as supportive therapies in the treatment of cancer-related fatigue and improving the quality of life among patients with breast cancer and potential impact of tai chi as tools for reducing work-related stress among healthcare professionals.

Abstract
Ancient philosophers and physicians such as Plato and Hippocrates believed in the relationship between physical activity and health, and the lack of physical activity and disease. For nurses, allied health professionals, social workers, physical activity leaders, and sports coaches, Sport and Physical Activity for Mental Health is an evidence-based practical guideline. Exercise is viewed as a useful and effective way to improve and maintain physical and mental health. Adults who move lower their risk of death from all causes, improve their sleep, reduce anxiety and depression in both healthy and psychologically ill people, help them maintain a healthy weight, and can help them decrease pain. Movement helps with mental clarity, as well as concentration and memory. When the body moves, so does our brain, which promotes the production of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which as we now know, aids cognitive function. Changing posture, breathing, and rhythm can all change the brain, thereby reducing stress, depression, and anxiety, and leading to a feeling of well-being. in addition, exercise can help us to control weight, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, Help the body manage blood sugar and insulin levels, and is useful for quitting smoking, plays a role in preventing the development of mental health problems and in improving the quality of life of people experiencing mental health problems and help keep the thinking, learning, and judgment skills sharp as we age. Physical activity may improve in the treatment of mild to moderate mental disorders. Various public health concerns related to physical activity were investigated in this thesis, which covered a variety of subjects.
