“…Three studies examined the effects of long-term Tai Chi Chuan practice on cognition using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the findings of these studies were not consistent (Burgener, Yang, Gilbert, & Marsh-Yant, 2008;Deschamps et al, 2009;Nowalk et al, 2001).…”

“…However, there was no significant difference in MMSE performance from 20 to 40 weeks, which indicated that 20 weeks might be sufficient for cognitive gains as a result of this intervention. Deschamps et al (2009) compared the effects of an intervention called cognition-action (which consists of lower body muscle exercise, upper and core body exercises, and deep breathing and relaxation) with those of Tai Chi Chuan in 52 frail older adults age 65-94 years. The Tai Chi Chuan consisted of the Yang style for 24 weeks, four times a week, for 30 min per class.…”

“…Therefore, this has seriously limited the likelihood of observing significant results as a function of a Tai Chi Chuan intervention. Finally, a few of the studies administered Tai Chi Chuan as part of a combined treatment intervention (Deschamps et al, 2009;Nowalk et al, 2001), which makes the specific effects of Tai Chi Chuan on cognition indecipherable.…”

The purpose of this article is to review the potential of Tai Chi Chuan as a mode of physical activity that could have cognitive benefits for older adults and to provide potential directions for future research. A brief introduction to Tai Chi Chuan and its related physical benefits is provided. In addition, the empirical literature related to Tai Chi Chuan and cognition is reviewed. Potential mediators of the relationship between Tai Chi Chuan and cognition, including physical resources, disease status, and mental resources, are discussed. Based on the limitations of the extant literature, it is argued that future research in this area must provide more detailed descriptions of Tai Chi Chuan, particularly in terms of intensity and program progression. Consideration of the specific type of cognition that is expected to benefit is also encouraged, and approaches for further efforts to understand how Tai Chi Chuan affects cognition are recommended.

OBJECTIVES-Summarize and critically evaluate research on the effects of Tai Chi on cognitive function in older adults. DESIGN-Systematic review with meta-analysis. SETTING-Community and residential care.PARTICIPANTS-Individuals aged 60 and over (with the exception of one study) with and without cognitive impairment. MEASUREMENTS-Cognitive ability using a variety of neuropsychological testing.RESULTS-Twenty eligible studies with a total of 2,553 participants were identified that met inclusion criteria for the systematic review: 11 of the 20 eligible studies were randomized Conflict of Interest:The editor in chief has reviewed the conflict of interest checklist provided by the authors and has determined that the authors have no financial or any other kind of personal conflicts with this paper.Author Contributions: Peter M. Wayne conceived the idea for this study. In addition, Peter M. Wayne wrote the first draft, extracted data, and evaluated studies for methodological quality and risk of bias. Jacquelyn N. Walsh contributed to the first draft and extracted data. Ruth E. Taylor-Piliae conducted meta-analyses and contributed to the manuscript. Gloria Y. Yeh extracted data, evaluated studies for methodological quality and risk of bias, and contributed to the manuscript. Rebecca E. Wells, Kathryn V. Papp, and Nancy J. Donovan all contributed to the manuscript. NIH Public Access NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript controlled trials (RCTs), 1 was a prospective non-randomized controlled study, 4 were prospective non-controlled observational studies, and 4 were cross-sectional studies. Overall quality of RCTs was modest, with 3 of 11 trials categorized as high risk of bias. Meta-analyses of outcomes related to executive function in RCTs of cognitively healthy adults indicated a large effect size when Tai Chi was compared to non-intervention controls (Hedge's g=0.90; p=0.043) and moderate effect size when compared to exercise controls (Hedge's g=0.51; p=0.003). Meta-analyses of outcomes related to global cognitive function in RCTs of cognitively impaired adults, ranging from mild cognitive impairment to dementia, showed smaller but statistically significant effects when Tai Chi was compared to both non-intervention controls (Hedge's g=0.35; p=0.004) and other active interventions (Hedge's g=0.30; p=0.002). Findings from non-randomized studies add further evidence that Tai Chi may positively impact these and other domains of cognitive function. CONCLUSION-TaiChi shows potential to enhance cognitive function in older adults, particularly in the realm of executive functioning and in those individuals without significant impairment. Larger and methodologically sound trials with longer follow-up periods are needed before more definitive conclusions can be drawn.

“…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).…”

. 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.
