太极拳是一种中国传统的身心运动，近年来在世界范围内流行起来。在太极拳的练习中，深呼吸融入身体运动，以实现身心之间的和谐平衡，并促进内部能量（气）的流动。参加者可根据个人需要选择一套完整的太极拳或自选动作。以前的研究证实，太极拳对促进健康有显着的好处，经常练习太极拳可以提高有氧能力，肌肉力量，平衡，健康相关的生活质量和心理健康。最近的研究也证明太极拳对神经系统疾病患者（例如，中风、帕金森病、创伤性脑损伤、多发性硬化、认知功能障碍），风湿病（例如，类风湿性关节炎，强直性脊柱炎，和纤维肌痛），整形外科疾病（例如，骨关节炎、骨质疏松症、腰痛和肌肉骨骼疾病），心血管疾病（例如，急性心肌梗塞、冠状动脉旁路移植术和心力衰竭）、慢性阻塞性肺病和乳腺癌。太极是一项强度适中的有氧运动，适合在社区进行。本文综述了太极拳的相关文献，介绍了太极拳的保健作用及其潜在的临床应用。
Tai Chi Chuan (Tai Chi) is a Chinese traditional mind-body exercise and recently, it becomes popular worldwide. During the practice of Tai Chi, deep diaphragmatic breathing is integrated into body motions to achieve a harmonious balance between body and mind and to facilitate the flow of internal energy (Qi). Participants can choose to perform a complete set of Tai Chi or selected movements according to their needs. Previous research substantiates that Tai Chi has significant benefits to health promotion, and regularly practicing Tai Chi improves aerobic capacity, muscular strength, balance, health-related quality of life, and psychological well-being. Recent studies also prove that Tai Chi is safe and effective for patients with neurological diseases (e.g., stroke, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cognitive dysfunction), rheumatological disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and fibromyalgia), orthopedic diseases (e.g., osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, low-back pain, and musculoskeletal disorder), cardiovascular diseases (e.g., acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, and heart failure), chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and breast cancers. Tai Chi is an aerobic exercise with mild-to-moderate intensity and is appropriate for implementation in the community. This paper reviews the existing literature on Tai Chi and introduces its health-promotion effect and the potential clinical applications.
