Objective The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of physical activity on both therapeutic efficacy and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) during immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Physical activity was divided into three groups: light physical activity (LPA), moderate physical activity (MPA), and vigorous physical activity (VPA) for laboratory indexes, efficacy, and irAEs. A multivariate logistic regression was employed to analyze the relationship between sedentary behavior with efficacy and irAEs. Results The study included 121 patients. The three levels of physical activity were not significantly associated with efficacy or irAEs. However, noteworthy disparities were observed in base-hemoglobin levels (F = 3.4, P = 0.037) and base-lymphocyte levels (χ2 = 6.13, P = 0.047) among the three groups. After treatment, we identified statistically significant variations in albumin levels (P = 0.012) and lymphocyte counts (P = 0.035). Furthermore, a negative correlation emerged between pre-treatment sedentary behavior duration and immune-efficacy (β: −0.005, P = 0.027). Conclusions In summary, within the cohort of NSCLC patients undergoing single immunotherapy or a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy, physical activity is closely related to immune and inflammatory indicators in patients, and prolonged sitting will reduce the therapeutic effect.
