“…Our results indicated that the positive associations between vigorous PA and MH manifest in men rather than in women; however, no positive association was found between vigorous PA and MH problems in women. Our results support earlier findings suggesting that psychologically, men are more likely to benefit from vigorous activities, whereas women from lighter ones (35,44) . Hence, among women, we found positive associations between MH and participation in the two milder-intensity PA types in our study (i.e.…”

“…Tai Chi), whereas men reported increased positive affect following a more intense PA that had no cognitive components (i.e. brisk walking 65 %-75 % of maximum heart rate) (35) . Consequently, in the present study, we analysed associations between PA of three different intensities, executed above and below the recommended levels, and five dimensions of MH, four relating to MH problems commonly found in the general population (i.e.…”

Objective: To explore gender-specific variations related to activity intensity in the relationship between physical activity (PA) and mental health (MH). Evaluating whether psychological well-being enhances with increases in PA at recommended levels and above, in the general population. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Population-based, representative for Belgium. . Secondary analyses confirmed that differences in psychological complaints were significant for vigorous PA in men, and for moderate PA in women, whereas differences in emotional well-being were significant for walking exclusively in women. Conclusions: In the general population, the PA-MH relationship is always positive, regardless of activity intensity. In men, it addresses complaints (symptoms, palpable discomfort) and the optimal PA intensity is high. In women, it addresses complaints, but also distress (lowered mood, disturbing anxiety, altered wellbeing) and the PA intensity is mild.

Effects of Tai Chi Exercise on Physical and Psychological Health of Older People

Tai Chi is a traditional Chinese form of conditioning exercise derived from martial arts and rooted in eastern philosophy and Chinese Medicine. Based on the inter-relatedness of mind, body and spirit this form of exercise focuses on producing an inner calmness which is thought to have both physical and psychological therapeutic value. This article provides a brief overview of selected current evidence examining the relationship between Tai Chi and physical, neurocognitive and psychosocial outcomes in older people. This is an emerging and growing area of research and improvements have often been reported in health functioning, physical and emotional health, reducing falls, fear of falling and risk of falls, and possibly enhancing cardiovascular functioning in older adults although the effects on bone density, cognitive and immunological functioning are less clear. Results overall are inconsistent and health improvements have not been evident in all studies. Tai Chi is becoming increasingly popular in practice, and more recent evidence is emerging which is based on experimental and longitudinal designs, although many of the proposed benefits of Tai Chi are yet to be validated in large, randomised controlled trials.

“…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).…”

“…Sin embargo, no se debe descartar la influencia del efecto placebo como han expuesto algunos estudios sobre los efectos psicológicos del TCC y que pueden ser debidas a las expectativas de los participantes en las que se asocia esta actividad con la salud y la tranquilidad mental, dando lugar al síndrome de profecía auto cumplida por sugestión (Brown et al, 1995;Jin, 1989Jin, , 1992Yau & Packer, 2002).…”

. 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.
