Tai-Chi and Aerobic Exercise to Improve Emotional Symptom Cluster in Late-stage Lung Cancer Patients

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of Tai-Chi and aerobic exercise on the emotional symptom cluster, and the underlying mechanism of that cluster, in late-stage lung cancer patients. Participants will be randomized into one of three groups: 1) Tai-Chi group, 2) aerobic exercise group, or 3) self-management control group. Both the Tai-Chi and aerobic exercise groups will attend twice-weekly group classes for 16 weeks (32 total contact hours). The self-management control group will receive written information regarding the recommended level of physical activity.
