“…Este último aspecto hace tiempo que viene siendo señalado en la bibliografía por diferentes autores que hacen estudios de revisión sistemática sobre los efectos del TCC en diferentes ámbitos de la salud y que recomiendan a los autores que adopten en el diseño de sus intervenciones los criterios establecidos en los diferentes instrumentos de evaluación utilizados (Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials (CONSORT); Jadad Score, PEDro rating scale, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) etc.) (Hall et al 2009;Li et al, 2011;Low et al, 2009). …”

“…Que el estilo Yang sea el más utilizado en las intervenciones coincide con los resultados encontrados en otros estudios de revisión realizados sobre los efectos del TCC a nivel psicológico (Dechamps, Lafont & Bourdel-Marchasson, 2007;Jiménez, Meléndez y Albers, 2012;Taylor et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2010a) y tiene sus causas en que es el estilo más practicado a nivel mundial (Low et al, 2009), y el que mejor se adecua a las personas mayores (Dechamps, Lafont & Bourdel-Marchasson, 2007), población sobre la que se centran la mayor parte de los estudios.…”

. ARTÍCULO DE REVISIÓN ResumenObjetivo: Este artículo hace un análisis de los estudios internacionales realizados con relación a los efectos del tai chi chuan (también conocido como taichí, taiji o taijiquan) sobre el sueño en sus practicantes con el fin de clarificar el marco de investigación desde el que se está abordando esta problemática, cuáles son sus efectos y las causas que los producen. Método: La búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó sobre siete bases de datos internacionales hasta octubre del año 2011. Resultados/Conclusiones: Los trabajos de revisión realizados sobre el tema son muy escasos y abordan un escaso número de estudios; mientras que los estudios específicos confirman un tendencia positiva respecto a que el tai chi chuan produce una mejora significativa sobre la estabilidad (interrupción del sueño) y la calidad (eficacia y duración) del sueño nocturno, y una mejora general sobre el sueño diurno, aunque para disfrutar de tales beneficios es necesario un tiempo mínimo de práctica. Las causas fisiológicas que conducen a esta mejora están todavía por determinar.Palabras clave: Tai chi chuan, trastornos de sueño, calidad de sueño, calidad de vida. Effects of Tai Chi Chuan practice on sleep quality Abstract Aim:This paper reviews international studies on the effects of Tai Chi Chuan (a.k.a. taichi, taiji or taijiquan) on sleep with the aim of clarifying the research framework, which are its causes and effects. Method: The literature search was carried out on the basis of seven international databases on October 2011. Results/Conclusions: The review works on the subject are scarce and address a small number of studies, while specific works confirm that tai chi chuan produces a significant improvement over the stability (sleep disruption) and quality (efficacy and duration) of nighttime sleep, and an overall improvement on daytime sleep, although to enjoy these benefits its required a minimum of practice. The physiological causes that lead to this improvement are still to be determined.Keywords: Tai Chi Chuan, sleep disorders, sleep quality, quality of life.

Purpose:This study was done to analyze the effects of Tai Chi on fall-related risk factors through meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials published in English and Korean between 2000 and 2010. Methods: Using health related database and hand search of references and Google, 28 randomized studies were collected from doctoral dissertation and published peer reviewed articles. The Comprehensive Meta-analysis version 2.0 was used for the analysis. Results: The effect sizes for Tai Chi for 3 months were significant with ES= 0.54 for static balance, ES= 0.24 for dynamic balance, ES= 0.69 for balance measured by scale, and ES= 0.40 for flexibility, ES= 0.48 for muscle strength, ES= 0.71 for ADL, and ES= 0.37 for fear of falling. Also, the effect sizes of Tai Chi for 6 months were significant for most fall-related variables. The 6 month data for flexibility was not analyzed since only one study was published. Conclusion: The analysis of studies of randomized clinical trials indicate that Tai Chi is effective in improving balance, flexibility, muscle strength, activities of daily living, and fear of falling when applied for 3 or 6 months. The findings provide the objective evidence to apply Tai Chi as a fall preventive intervention.
