To explore the effects of Tai Chi on body mass index (BMI)
exercise capacity
and mental health of overweight/obese adults
and investigate factors influencing adherence to enhance adherence of Tai Chi as a sustainable exercise method.
Methods:
2
A randomized
controlled
exploratory clinical trial was conducted paired with a qualitative study of adherence management. A total of 20 overweight/obese participants were randomly assigned to a standard Tai Chi group (experimental) and a simplified Tai Chi group (control) for an 8-week intervention
10 patients in each group
with a 12-month follow-up. BMI was calculated and exercise capacity including an isokinetic muscle strength and balance ability test were evaluated. Mental health was assessed using the General Well-Being Schedule (GWB)
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
and Coping Self Efficacy Scale (CSES) at baseline
4th week
and 8th week
respectively. The qualitative research included open-interviews with Tai Chi practitioners and semi-structured interviews with subjects.
Results:
2
The intervention was conducted in Haidian Park
Beijing
China from October 6
2022
to January 1
2023
without dropouts. After an 8-week intervention
the participants in the experimental group exhibited a significant decrease in BMI (
P
<
0.05). Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in exercise capacity (
P
<
0.05). The experimental group exhibi
ted a significant enhancement in the GWB
PSQI and CSES (
P
<
0.05). Only GWB had significant difference in the control group (
P
<
0.05). The experimental group surpassed the control group in GWB and CSES (
P
<
0.05). The adherence rate was 87.5% in the experimental group and 57.9% in the control group after 8 weeks intervention. Analysis on adherence identified 15 themes
the top 3 themes mentioned were as follows: mind-body effects
online and on-site guidance
training schedule (for subjects); mind-body effects
difficulties in practicing
and understanding of Tai Chi (for practitioners).
Conclusions:
2
Both interventions were effective in improving exercise capacity. Standard Tai Chi
integrating both physical and mental conditioning
reduced weight
improved exercise capacity and mental happiness
and increased adherence
providing a sustainable exercise program (ChiCTR2200063599).
