During the preparatory stage，pre-exercise assessment and preparation before exercise were both well conducted. The knowledge of Ba Duan Jin and exercise prescription，and skill education were taught for the patients. Patients were guided to be familiar with the whole process of exercise and points for attention. The key parts of exercise prescription were exercise intensity and duration of exercise. During the implementation stage，we taught the patients to effectively and safely exercise. Exercise process was recorded and supervised. During the follow up stage，we provided direction and adjustment of exercise prescription for the patients. Totally 46 patients completed the whole process and all improved their exercise endurance and management ability. The duration of exercise increased from 16~28（20.23±2.87）minutes to 30~45（38.61±4.21）minutes. No serious complications were observed.
