Music has frequently been used in movement exercises to enhance health benefits. However, scientific evidence regarding the application of music to Tai Chi practice is limited.
This scoping review aims to understand how music has been used in Tai Chi practice and whether music could be applied to Tai Chi practice to help optimize its benefits.
PubMed, CINAHL, CNKI, and Weipu databases were searched. We included studies that compare Tai Chi practice experience or health outcomes between individuals practicing Tai Chi with music and those practicing Tai Chi without music. Studies published through September 2022 were identified. Two researchers (YD and YH) independently performed study selection and data extraction. Thematic analysis was used to summarize and categorize the findings of the included studies.
Seven studies were included in this review. All 7 included studies are experimental studies. Practicing Tai Chi with music might lead to positive perceptions of Tai Chi practice (eg, motivation, concentration, enjoyment, compliance, and performance) and higher evaluations of Tai Chi instructional quality, especially for Tai Chi beginners. The effects of incorporating music into Tai Chi practice on health outcomes are inconclusive due to the heterogeneities of the sample size, and the intervention components, lengths, and frequencies of the included studies.
Applying music to Tai Chi practice may result in positive Tai Chi practice experience and adherence, particularly for beginners, which could help improve the dissemination and implementation of Tai Chi interventions for public health. However, whether applying music to Tai Chi practice leads to synergetic effects on health outcomes needs further investigation.
音乐经常被用于运动锻炼中以增强健康益处。然而，关于音乐应用于太极拳练习的科学证据有限。
本综述旨在了解音乐在太极拳练习中是如何被使用的，以及音乐是否可以应用于太极拳练习以帮助优化其益处。
检索了PubMed、CINAHL、CNKI和维普数据库。我们纳入了比较在有音乐的情况下练习太极拳的个体与在无音乐的情况下练习太极拳的个体之间的太极拳练习体验或健康结果的研究。确定了截至2022年9月发表的研究。两位研究人员（YD和YH）独立进行研究筛选和数据提取。采用主题分析对纳入研究的结果进行总结和分类。
本综述纳入了7项研究。所有7项纳入研究均为实验性研究。伴随着音乐练习太极拳可能会对太极拳练习产生积极的认知（如动机、注意力、愉悦感、依从性和表现），并对太极拳教学质量有更高的评价，尤其是对于太极拳初学者。由于样本量、干预组成部分、纳入研究的时长和频率的异质性，将音乐纳入太极拳练习对健康结果的影响尚无定论。
将音乐应用于太极拳练习可能会带来积极的太极拳练习体验和依从性，特别是对于初学者，这有助于改善太极拳干预措施在公共卫生中的传播和实施。然而，将音乐应用于太极拳练习是否会对健康结果产生协同效应需要进一步研究。
