太极拳锻炼对延缓老年人智力衰退效果的干预研究

Study on the Intervention Effect of Tai Chi Exercise on Retarding Senile Mental Decline

为了解和探讨太极拳锻炼对延缓老年人智力衰退效果的影响,采用瑞文标准推理简化测验对合肥市128名长期参与太极拳锻炼的老年人(锻炼组)和105名没有接触过太极拳锻炼的老年人(普通组)进行了智力衰退测试的调查比较,并分析太极拳锻炼对延缓老年人智力衰退效果的影响。结果表明:老年人有规律地参与太极拳锻炼可以提高延缓老年人智力衰退的效果;每周太极拳锻炼5次以上、每次锻炼时间持续120min以上、“与朋友一起”或“团体组织”参与太极拳的锻炼形式对延缓老年人智力衰退效果较好。
