太极拳促进健康研究的现实审思与未来向度

A Realistic Review and Future Dimension of Tai Chi Health Promotion Research

为提高太极拳促进健康研究的质量,使太极拳更好地服务于人口老龄化趋势下的全民健康。运用文献资料法结合太极拳实修体悟与实地调研,以太极拳促进健康研究的干预方案为研究对象,对太极拳促进健康研究的问题进行了梳理提炼,回顾了太极拳作为独特拳种的内在逻辑,提出了太极拳研究的未来向度。研究显示:太极拳促进健康研究横向效果验证拓展迅速,纵向机制阐释推进缓慢。主要问题在于当前多数研究对太极拳的概念内涵理解不足,阻碍了专项健康收益评价工具的研发,限制了研究方案回归拳种本质,实现健身效果的精准化、高效化和溢出化。基于此,未来向度应立足太极拳技术本体,从整体功能力的角度认识太极拳对习练者身体功能的健康收益,研发能够反映太极拳整体功能力的动作技能测评新工具,建立以练整体功能力为核心的体系化新方案,形成整合医学视域的太极拳生命教育新高度,为全民健身与全民健康贡献更多智慧。

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.
