The health problems caused by insufficient exercise are becoming more and more serious, which is a serious threat to human health, especially the increase in patients with chronic diseases, which brings a heavy burden to medical and health care, and even triggers a public health crisis. In order to cope with the health threats people face, how to promote the synergistic effect of sports and medical health under the background of the integration of Chinese and Western medicine has become an important issue in building a healthy China life cycle. This article is aimed at studying the application of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in pharmacy and health. Through the research of multiproblem collaborative governance of sports and medicine, the mechanism to promote multidisciplinary collaborative governance was established, and the realization of the integration of sports and medicine was promoted, extending some college students in a university in a certain city and studied the experiment of the influence of exercise on health. Experiments showed that 34.8% of students who exercise almost daily were in very healthy conditions, and 47.8% of healthy students were also unhealthy or prone to illness. The 62.1% of students exercising three to four times a week are healthy, proving that sports has a certain impact on human health and has a certain reference significance for the integration of sports and medicine.
