Effect Of Tai Chi And Brisk Walking Exercise On Hemorheology Indexes Of The Mid-aged And Old Women

Objectives:Though analysis of Hemorheology indexes between three groups who respectively take Tai Chi and Brisk walking, we would find the difference of effection on hemorheology, which group’s variables would change firstly during intervention and which group’s maintained effection was better. We hoped our study could provide data support and theoretical basis on the effective prevention and treatment of older patients and rational physical activity.Methods:60community-dwelling mid-aged and old women take part in our study voluntarily. They were randomly divided into Tai Chi (TC) group,brisk walking(BW) group and control (C) groups and take16-week aerobic exercise. Hemorheology indexes were determined at0,8and16wk during training,and at8wk after training ended. Though analysis of between and within groups, the effects of different aerobic exercise on mid-aged and old women’s hemorheology indexes were confirmed.Results:a) during intervention during intervention, two variables of red cell aggregative and blood specific viscosity were significantly different between BW group and C group.(p<0.01),but only blood specific viscosity were significantly different between BW group and TC group.b) maintenance after intervention at8wk after intervention, TC group and BW group’s variables of blood viscosity,red cell aggregative, blood specific viscosity were significantly different from control’s, and BW’s blood specific viscosity was significant different from TC’s.Conclusions and Suggestions:a) These findings suggested that TC and BW exercise improved mid-aged and old women’s hemorheology indexes, and the later was more effective.b) Suggest mid-aged and old women do regularly hemorheology.
