The purpose of this article is to introduce a unique tai chi form that has been successfully implemented in two large randomized clinical trials. The intervention is composed of a series of tai chi movements chosen for their particular meanings, thus adding a cognitive component to the practice of a moving meditation. Over the last decade, the intervention has continued to evolve as it has been used in different populations. Most recently, medical qigong has been integrated to strengthen its potential impact on a variety of biobehavioral measures associated with cardiometabolic risk in women. Following an appraisal of the authors' process as well as the philosophy, practice, and research of tai chi and qigong, the authors share the story of their intervention to contribute to the evolving research of these safe, well-received, low-cost, and beneficial practices.
本文旨在介绍一种独特的太极拳形式，该形式已在两项大型随机临床试验中成功实施。该干预措施由一系列因其特定含义而被选中的太极拳动作组成，从而为移动冥想练习增添了认知成分。在过去十年中，随着该干预措施在不同人群中的应用，它不断发展。最近，医学气功已被整合进来，以增强其对与女性心脏代谢风险相关的各种生物行为指标的潜在影响。在评估了作者的过程以及太极拳和气功的理念、实践和研究之后，作者分享了他们的干预故事，以促进对这些安全、受欢迎、低成本且有益的练习的不断发展的研究。
