本研究的目的是调查和比较 12 周的太极拳和八段锦锻炼如何调节老年人的大脑结构和记忆功能。研究开始和结束时均应用磁共振成像（MRI）和记忆功能测量（韦克斯勒记忆量表-中文修订版，WMS-CR）。结果显示，太极拳和八段锦在运动12周后均能显着增加岛叶、内侧颞叶（MTL）和壳核的灰质体积（GMV）。太极拳组和八段锦组之间的灰质体积（GMV）没有观察到显着差异。我们还发现，与健康对照组相比，太极拳和八段锦显着提高了 WMS-CR 的视觉再现分项分数。与对照组相比，八段锦还提高了 WMS-CR 的心理控制、识别、触觉和理解记忆项目得分。记忆商（MQ）和视觉再现分项分数均与壳核和海马体 GMV 增加相关。我们的结果证明了太极拳和八段锦运动在预防老年人记忆缺陷方面的潜力。
The aim of this study is to investigate and compare how 12-weeks of Tai Chi Chuan and Baduanjin exercise can modulate brain structure and memory function in older adults. Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) and memory function measurements (Wechsler Memory Scale-Chinese revised, WMS-CR)were applied at both the beginning and end of the study. Results showed that both Tai Chi Chuan and Baduanjin could significantly increase grey matter volume (GMV) in the insula, medial temporal lobe (MTL), and putamen after 12-weeks of exercise. No significant differences were observed in grey matter volume (GMV) between the Tai Chi Chuan and Baduanjin groups. We also found that compared to healthy controls, Tai Chi Chuan and Baduanjin significantly improved visual reproduction subscores on the WMS-CR. Baduanjin also improved mental control, recognition, touch and comprehension memory subscores of the WMS-CR compared to the control group. Memory quotient (MQ)and visual reproduction subscores were both associated with GMV increases in the putamen and hippocampus. Our results demonstrate the potential of Tai Chi Chuan and Baduanjin exercise for the prevention of memory deficits in older adults.
