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
