A Realistic Review and Future Dimension of Tai Chi Health Promotion Research
To improve the research quality of Tai Chi's promotion of health and make Tai Chi better serve national health under the trend of an ageing population,this paper uses methods of literature review,combined with practi-cal practice and field research on Tai Chi,to investigate intervention programs in Tai Chi health promotion stud-ies,to sort out and refine the issues in the research on Tai Chi health promotion,and to review the internal logic of Tai Chi as a unique genre and to propose future directions for Tai Chi research.The research shows that while there's been rapid progress in confirming the health benefits of Tai Chi through comparisons of different groups(horizontal studies for validation of effects),there's been slower progress in understanding exactly how it works through long-term studies that track changes in the same people(lontitudinal studies).The main problem is that most of the current studies have a poor understanding of the conceptual connotations of Tai Chi,which hinders the development of specific health benefit evaluation tools and affects the precision,efficiency and variety of research programs.Based on this,the future direction should be based on Tai Chi itself,understanding the health benefits of Tai Chi on practitioners'body functions from the perspective of holistic gong ability,developing new tools to evalu-ate movement skills that can reflect the holistic gong ability of Tai Chi,establishing a new scheme of content sys-tematization with the practice of holistic gong ability as the core,and forming a new height of Tai Chi life education that integrates the medical field and contributing more wisdom to national fitness and health.
