目的：为了评估对血压，血脂和焦虑状态的影响，受试者接受了12周的太极拳运动计划。设计：太极拳组和一组久坐不动的生活对照的随机对照研究。设置：台北医学大学医院和大学校园在台北，台湾地区。受试者：两（2）组选择的76名健康受试者的血压在正常高或I期hypertension.Intervention：一个为期12周的太极拳运动训练计划，实行定期的频率为每周3次。每节包括10分钟热身，30分钟太极拳练习，10分钟放松。运动强度估计约为最大心率的64%。结果测量：血压，血脂和焦虑状态（状态-特质焦虑量表; STAI）进行了evaluated.Results：经过12周的太极拳训练，治疗组显示收缩压15.6毫米汞柱和舒张压8.8毫米汞柱的显着下降。血清总胆固醇水平降低15.2 mg/dL，高密度脂蛋白胆固醇升高4.7 mg/dL。结论：太极拳运动训练在设计良好的条件下，可降低血压，改善血脂水平，改善焦虑状态。因此，太极拳可以作为治疗轻度高血压患者的一种替代方式，具有良好的经济效益。
Objectives: To evaluate the effects on blood pressure, lipid profile, and anxiety status on subjects received a 12-week Tai Chi Chuan exercise program.Design: Randomized controlled study of a Tai Chi Chuan group and a group of sedentary life controls.Setting: Taipei Medical University Hospitals and University campus in the Taipei, Taiwan, area.Subjects: Two (2) selected groups of 76 healthy subjects with blood pressure at high-normal or stage I hypertension.Intervention: A 12-week Tai Chi Chuan exercise training program was practiced regularly with a frequency of 3 times per week. Each session included 10-minute warm-up, 30-minute Tai Chi exercise, 10-minute cool-down. Exercise intensity was estimated to be approximately 64% of maximal heart rate.Outcome measures: Blood pressure, lipid profile and anxiety status (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory; STAI) were evaluated.Results: After 12-weeks of Tai Chi training, the treatment group showed significant decrease in systolic blood pressure of 15.6 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure 8.8 mm Hg. The serum total cholesterol level decreased 15.2 mg/dL and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased 4.7 mg/dL. By using STAI evaluation, both trait anxiety and state anxiety were decreased.Conclusions: This study shows that under well-designed conditions, Tai Chi exercise training could decrease blood pressure and results in favorable lipid profile changes and improve subjects' anxiety status. Therefore, Tai Chi could be used as an alternative modality in treating patients with mild hypertension, with a promising economic effect.
