“…There were no differences in the basal levels of total testosterone and of free testosterone among the participants. Testosterone levels have been shown to increase among elderly patients with benign prostate hypertrophy after Tai Chi training for a year (15). In the present study, nevertheless, Tai Chi exercise training did not affect the basal level of testosterone among our healthy participants.…”

“…Groups of Chinese have practiced Tai Chi exercise in the early morning since the 12 th century and continue to do so in large numbers. Tai Chi exercise is a moderate intensity exercise and was believed in ancient China to be better adapted to people who are middle-aged or older (15). The characteristics of Tai Chi exercise consists of breathing exercises that are matched to slow meditative and graceful movements that simulate the postures of various animals in nature.…”

Tai Chi has many benefits for middle-aged/older individuals including improvements to muscle strength and various body lipid components. DHEAS and testosterone have anti-obesity/anti-aging characteristics and also improve libido, vitality and immunity levels. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the differences between middle-aged Tai Chi practitioners (n = 17) and sedentary individuals (n = 17) in terms of leg strength, blood levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, as well as DHEAS, testosterone and cortisol. Unpaired t-tests were used to identify significant differences between the two groups. There were no significant differences in body composition, leg strength, blood lipid components and testosterone. However, the Tai Chi practitioners had higher levels of DHEAS (P< 0.01) and lower levels of cortisol (P< 0.05). Thus, Tai Chi practitioners have a higher ratio of DHEAS to cortisol, which might have potential benefits in terms of improving an individual’s health-related quality of life during the aging.

“…Among the 50 studies in Table 1, no serious AEs related to Tai Chi was reported, and 32 studies 18, 20, 21, 26-29, 31-34, 36-39, 41-44, 50-52, 55-57, 59-65 reported no occurrence of any AEs related to intervention. Fifteen 16, 17, 19, 23-25, 30, 45, 47-49, 53, 54, 58, 59 of the 50 studies specifically reported occurrences of minor musculoskeletal aches and pain, with complaints of lower extremity pain (knee and ankle) being most common.…”

Objective Systematically review frequency and quality of adverse event (AE) reports in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of Tai Chi (TC). Data Sources Electronic searches of PubMed/MEDLINE and additional databases from inception through March 2013 of English-language RCTs. Search terms were tai chi, taiji, tai chi chuan. Data were independently extracted by two investigators. Study Selection We included all available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that were published in English and used Tai Chi as an intervention. Inclusion and exclusion of studies were reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data Extraction Eligible RCTs were categorized with respect to AE reporting: 1) No mention of protocols for monitoring AEs or reports of AEs; 2) Reports of AEs either with or without explicit protocols for monitoring AEs. Data Synthesis 153 eligible RCTs were identified, most targeting older adults. Only 50 eligible trials (33%) included reporting of AEs, and of these, only 18 trials (12% overall) also reported an explicit AE monitoring protocol. Protocols varied with respect to rigor of systematic monitoring in both Tai Chi and comparison groups. Reported AEs were typically minor and expected, and primarily musculoskeletal related (e.g., knee and back pain); no intervention-related serious AEs were reported. Conclusions Tai Chi is unlikely to result in serious adverse events, but may be associated with minor musculoskeletal aches and pains. However, poor and inconsistent reporting of AEs greatly limits the conclusions that can be drawn regarding the safety of Tai Chi.

“…A recent meta-analysis, containing 19 studies, reports a positive association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Lower urinary tract syndrome (LUTS) related to BPH (odds ratio (OR) = 1.28%) (Wang, Mao et al 2012). Many investigations have shown that obese men have a higher risk of BPH (Wang, Hsieh et al 2011, Corona, Vignozzi et al 2014 and proved that the impact on male aging can be halted by aerobic exercise (Brown and Emberton 2009, Poon and McVary 2009, Jung, Lee et al 2012, Lee, Kim et al 2014.…”

High-fat-diet (HFD) induced BPH mice model used to examine how aerobics exercise prevents the development of BPH and try to find the mechanism. Materials and Methods: C57BL/6J mice were randomized into three groups for a 6-week intervention: Control group (Co, n = 8) and Diet group (Di, n = 8) fed standard diet, and Exercise and diet group fed standard diet meanwhile run on a treadmill at 12m/min, 30 min/day, 6 days/week (Ex+Di, n = 8). Body weight (BW), fat, prostate weight (PW), prostate index (PI), Estradio(E2), Testosterona (T) and estrogen receptor(ER) were detected. Results: The Di had a higher BW, fat, PW and PI, compared to Co and Ex+Di. BW and PI in Ex+Di significantly lower compared to Di, thus running prevented increase in BW and PI. Although, E2 and T in Di and Ex+Di haven’t seen anything statistically significant, compared with Co. However, ERá in Ex+Di (0.039±0.012 ng/ml) was significant reduced (P less than 0.05) compared with Di (0.046±0.011 ng/ml); Compared with Di (0.032±0.009 ng/ml), ERâ in Ex+Di (0.039±0.011 ng/ml) was significant reduced (P less than 0.05). Conclusion: Obesity is an important risk factor for the development of BPH. It may also provide scientific evidence to promote weight loss and aerobic exercise beneficial adjuvant therapies for BPH.
