Change in perceived psychosocial status following a 12‐week Tai Chi exercise programme

Abstract: Tai Chi was a culturally appropriate mind-body exercise for these older adults, with statistically significant psychosocial benefits observed over 12-weeks. Further research examining Tai Chi exercise using a randomized clinical trial design with an attention-control group may reduce potential confounding effects, while exploring potential mechanisms underlying the relaxation response associated with mind-body exercise. In addition, future studies with people with other chronic illnesses in all ethnic groups a… Show more

“…Hitherto, studies exploring the suitability of Taiji as a stress management intervention are scarce. In terms of stress as measured by psychological measures only, a decrease of self-reported stress was observed in healthy young adults as well as in elderly subjects with cardiovascular disease risk factors and persons with HIV disease (Robins et al, 2006;Taylor-Piliae et al, 2006;Esch et al, 2007). To date, one randomizedcontrolled study assessed the effect of 60 min of Taiji practice on the psychobiological recovery of subjects after they were exposed to a non-validated stressor intended to induce mental and emotional stress by having them watch stressful movies and perform mental arithmetic under time-pressure and noise (Jin, 1992).…”

“…Toda et al 28 relatam que o TCC tem efeito significativamente mais benéfico nos domínios bem-estar emocional (depressão, humor, raiva e confusão) e bem-estar físico (fadiga) nos portadores de uma personalidade "impaciente" do que naqueles classificados como "calmos". Taylor-Piliae et al 29 apontam que um fator que pode levar a erro nos resultados é o estudo ser feito em grupo étnico asiático, que possui a tradição cultural de não mostrar emoções negativas em público e se conformar com as regras sociais.…”

“…El TCC ha sido relacionado con la capacidad de producir numerosos beneficios sobre la salud física y mental de sus practicantes: a nivel cardiorrespiratorio (Brown et al, 1989), sobre la osteoartritis (Brismeé et al, 2007;Ni et al, 2010;Song et al, 2003), el equilibrio (Fong & Ng, 2006;Gyllensten et al, 2010;Tsang et al, 2004;Wong et al, 2001), el miedo a las caídas (Taggart, 2002;Wolf et al, 1996;Zhang et al, 2006), la depresión, la ansiedad, el ánimo y el estrés (Brown et al, 1995;Galantino et al, 2005;Jin, 1989;Taylor et al, 2006;Toda et al, 2011), la autoestima (Blake y Batson, 2009), la auto-eficacia (Dechamps et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2009;Taylor y Froelicher, 2004), etc. A nivel psicológico, se ha catalogado incluso como "meditación en forma de movimiento" por la capacidad del TCC de sumir a sus practicantes en estados de gran tranquilidad y relajación mental (Taylor et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2010a).…”
