Regular physical activity is beneficial for health, but research on interventions for young people's physical and mental health remains limited. Tai Chi may have potential benefits, but its effects on young adults are not well - studied. 45 college students were randomly assigned to a Tai Chi (TC) group or a control group. The TC group underwent 45-minute sessions, three times a week for 12 weeks. Physical health performance and alpha-band power of resting-state electroencephalography were measured before and after the intervention. Both groups improved in long jump performance (p < 0.05), but the TC group had a greater improvement (13.73 ± 15.54 vs. 4.91 ± 9.24 cm). The alpha-band power increased in the TC group and decreased in the control group. Tai Chi can enhance physical fitness and alpha-band power in college students, suggesting its potential as a health-promoting activity.
规律的体育活动有益于健康,但针对年轻人身心健康干预措施的研究仍然有限。太极拳可能有潜在益处,但其对年轻人的影响尚未得到充分研究。45名大学生被随机分为太极拳(TC)组或对照组。TC组每周进行三次,每次45分钟的课程,共持续12周。在干预前后测量身体健康表现和静息状态脑电图的α波段功率。两组的跳远成绩均有所提高(p < 0.05),但TC组的改善更大(13.73 ± 15.54厘米 vs. 4.91 ± 9.24厘米)。TC组的α波段功率增加,而对照组则下降。太极拳可以增强大学生的身体素质和α波段功率,表明其作为一种促进健康活动的潜力。
