Methods： Sixty-five old people with sarcopenia were randomized into Yi Jin Jing group and a blank control group. Thirty-three patients in Yi Jin Jing group practiced Yi Jin Jing（Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises）, while 32 patients in the blank control group didn＇t receive any interventions. The muscle strength was measured before and after 12-week training. Results： During the study, each group had 1 dropout. The muscle strength was improved after 12-week training in Yi Jin Jing group, and the difference was statistically significant（P〈0.05）; there was no significant difference in the blank control group（P〈0.05）. After the intervention, there was a significant difference between Yi Jin Jing group and the blank control group in comparing the muscle strength（P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Constant Yi Jin Jing（Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises） training can notably improve skeletal muscle strength in senile sarcopenia.展开更多

Since the 1980s, domestic basic study on Shaoiin Neigong has mainly focused on its physiologic effects, and has preliminarily proved that Shaolin Neigong can enhance the aerobic capacity, cardio-pulmonary function, and muscle strength of human body. By summarizing the literatures studying the effects of Shaolin Neigong on respiratory, circulatory, locomotor and nervous systems, this article was to understand the modern research, inheritance and protection of Shaolin Neigong. The results indicate that the modern research on Shaolin Neigong is relatively slow. Continuous development, continuity and innovation in basic research, teaching and clinical practices are required, to enhance the general and therapeutic level of tuina exercises and tuina science of traditional Chinese medicine.展开更多
