Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) impairs lung function, necessitating effective rehabilitation to enhance recovery. Conventional physiotherapy has limited evidence for improving spirographic indicators, prompting exploration of novel interventions like dance-based gymnastics. Methods: We conducted a 12-week randomized controlled trial at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, enrolling 24 adults (aged 20–30) recovering from CAP. Participants were randomized to an experimental group (TG, n=12) receiving dance-based gymnastics plus conventional physiotherapy or a control group (CG, n=12) receiving conventional physiotherapy alone. Primary outcomes were spirographic indicators (forced vital capacity [VCL forced], minute volume of breathing [MVB], breathing volume [BV]), assessed at baseline and 12 weeks using a calibrated spirometer. Data were analyzed with t-tests and ANOVA (p<0.05). Results: The TG showed significantly greater improvements in VCL forced (p<0.004), MVB (p<0.005), and BV (p<0.005) compared to the CG. Hypoxic test pause durations also improved in the TG (p<0.001), indicating enhanced respiratory endurance. No adverse events were reported. Conclusions: Dance-based gymnastics, combined with conventional physiotherapy, markedly improves lung function in CAP recovery, supporting its integration into rehabilitation protocols. Larger trials are needed to confirm long-term benefits and cost-effectiveness.

背景：社区获得性肺炎（Community-acquired pneumonia, CAP）可损害肺功能，患者需接受有效康复干预以促进康复。常规物理治疗在改善肺量测定指标方面的循证证据有限，促使学界探索舞蹈体操等新型干预手段。
方法：本研究于巴基斯坦医学科学研究所开展一项为期12周的随机对照试验，共纳入24名年龄20~30岁的社区获得性肺炎康复期成人受试者。将受试者随机分为试验组（TG，n=12）与对照组（CG，n=12）：试验组接受舞蹈体操联合常规物理治疗，对照组仅接受常规物理治疗。本研究的主要结局指标为肺量测定指标：用力肺活量（forced vital capacity, VCL forced）、每分钟通气量（minute volume of breathing, MVB）及呼吸容积（breathing volume, BV），于基线及12周时采用校准后的肺量计进行检测。数据分析采用t检验与方差分析（ANOVA），检验水准设定为p<0.05。
结果：与对照组相比，试验组的用力肺活量（p<0.004）、每分钟通气量（p<0.005）及呼吸容积（p<0.005）均得到显著改善。试验组的缺氧试验暂停时长亦显著提升（p<0.001），提示呼吸耐力增强。本研究未报告任何不良事件。
结论：舞蹈体操联合常规物理治疗可显著改善社区获得性肺炎康复期患者的肺功能，支持将其纳入临床康复方案。未来需开展更大规模的临床试验以验证其长期获益与成本效益。
