太极拳锻炼对老年人心肺机能影响的观察

Observation on Effect of Tai Chi Chuan on Cardiopulmonary Function of Older People

目的观察太极拳锻炼对老年人心肺机能影响。方法市光三村老年居民20名,男10名,女10名,年龄53～68岁,按性别比1:1比例将20名老年人分为两组:锻炼组和对照组。锻炼组进行2个月的太极拳锻炼,对照组不参加任何集体或个人的有计划锻炼。分别于实验前、2个月锻炼后对受试对象进行心肺机能测试。结果锻炼前两组心肺功能测试结果差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。锻炼2个月后,锻炼组DBP明显低于锻炼前(79.11±3.19,84.55±5.47;P<0.05),FEV1和FEV1%明显高于锻炼前(2.27±0.41,88.36±11.12;1.96±0.55,81.17±9.20;P<0.05)。对照组在实验前后心肺功能测试结果未发生明显变化(P>0.05)。结论提示太极拳运动可有效改善老年人心肺机能。

Objective To observe the effect of Tai Chi Chuan （TCC） on cardiopulmonary function of healthy older people. Methods Twenty older inhabitants form Shiguang third country were selected as subjects. They, aged 53 - 68 years and including 10 males and 10 females, were randomly divided into two groups： training group（ n = 10） and control group（ n = 10）. The exercise contents of training group were twenty-four TCC for two months. The control group had no exercise with individual and eoUective scheme in the two months. At one day before and after 2-month TCC exercise, the cardiopulmonary function of older individuals was tested. Results Before 2-month TCC exercise, there had no significant difference in the two groups （ P 〉 0. 05 ）. After 2- month TCC exercise, the training group showed significant decrease in DBP （79. 11 ± 3.19, 84. 55± 5.47;P 〈 O. 05 ）, and significant increase in FEV1 and FEV1% （ 2.27 ±0.41,88. 36 ± 11.12 ; 1.96 ± 0. 55,81.17 ±9. 20;P 〈0. 05 ）. The control group had no significant change before and after 2-month TCC exercise（ P 〉 0. 05 ）. Conclusion TCC exercise is effective for improving cardiopulmonary function in healthy older individuals.
