太极拳运动对中老年人心肺功能的影响

The effects of Taijiquan on the cardiorespiratory function of middle aged and aged people

目的:考察长期进行太极拳锻炼对中老年人的心肺功能的影响,为太极拳作为中老年人适宜的锻炼方式提供理论依据。方法:选取北京崇文区中老年太极拳习练者212人,作为实验组;不常从事体育锻炼身体健康的其他中老年人209人,作为对照组,共421人,分男女组,每组再划分为45—55岁,56岁以上两个年龄组,按照国民体质测试标准进行肺活量和台阶实验测试。结果:实验组与对照组总体比较,肺活量与台阶实验指数明显上升(P<0.01)。男子组两年龄段与对照组相比肺活量、台阶实验指数明显上升(P<0.01)。女子组除45—55岁组台阶实验指数与对照组相比上升(P<0.05),其他比较指标均不具差异性。结论:实验组与对照组相比心肺能力明显提高,男子组改善较明显,女子组指标改善较小,可能与练习年限短、练习量小有关。

Objective：To analysis the effects of Taijiquan on cardiorespiratory function of middle aged and aged people, and provide experimental and theoretical bases for extending taijiquan exercises. Method： In Chongwen district Beijing, 421 middle-aged and aged persons were chosen and divided into two groups：212 persons persisting in doing taijiquan exercises as exercises group and 209 common health persons doing exercises not frequently as control group. Each group was divided into male and female group, and sub which divided into 46--55, and 〉56 years old two-age sections. Vital capacity（VC） and steps-experiment were tested. Result： Compared with control group the results of both tests elevated （P〈0.01）.fn two age sections of male, the test results obviously elevated （P〈 0.01） .In female group, only the results of steps-experiment in 45--55 years old group elevated （P〈0.05）, the changes of other indexes were not significant. Conclusion：The cardiorespiratory function in experimental group was better than that in control group, which was more obviously in male group.
