This study investigated the effects of Tai Chi exercise on the psychological health and sleep quality of older adult women after exercise cessation. Nineteen Tai Chi practitioners and 20 controls completed the final tests. All participants completed the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at 0, 24 and 28 weeks (4 weeks after Tai Chi cessation). Compared with baseline, the fatigue, depression, total mood disturbance and PSQI scores in the Tai Chi group decreased at week 24 by 18.8%, 24.7%, 5.7% and 24.6%, and the vigour score increased by 18.3%. At week 28, depression and PSQI scores in the Tai Chi group decreased by 24.0% and 20.4%, respectively. Practicing Tai Chi for 24 weeks positively affected fatigue, depression, vigour and sleep quality among older adult women. The effect on reducing depression and improving sleep quality was sustained 4 weeks after Tai Chi was stopped.
本研究调查了太极拳练习对老年女性运动停止后心理健康和睡眠质量的影响。19名太极拳练习者和20名对照组完成了最终测试。所有参与者在第0、24和28周（停止太极拳练习4周后）完成了情绪状态量表（POMS）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）。与基线相比，太极拳组在第24周时疲劳、抑郁、总情绪紊乱和PSQI得分分别下降了18.8%、24.7%、5.7%和24.6%，活力得分增加了18.3%。在第28周时，太极拳组的抑郁和PSQI得分分别下降了24.0%和20.4%。持续24周练习太极拳对老年女性的疲劳、抑郁、活力和睡眠质量产生了积极影响。停止太极拳练习4周后，对减轻抑郁和改善睡眠质量的影响仍然存在。
