A Research Of The Influence About The Wu Qin Xi-Five Animal Frolics,a Kind Of Health-care Qigong On Elderly Women

Objective:This experimental paper studies the Influence about the Five-Animal Frolics, a kind of Health-care Qigong on elderly women who suffer arteriosclerosis, and the Influence on their bone density, body composition indexes in order to further for the popularization of Health-care Qigong and provide theoretical materials and experimental basis for improving the Health-care Qigong exercise effectively..Methods:This paper studies25ordinary middle and old aged women in the city of Xi’an, Shaanxi province who take part in the Five-Animal Frolics, a Kind of Health-care Qigong practice as the experimental subjects. the subjects who participant are healthy, and have no experience of the participation of Health-care Qigong exercise. They practice the Health-care Qigong·the Five-Animal Frolics as a means of exercise (for a period of6months,3times a week, each performed3times, about1hour each), during which the subjects did not participate in any other form of exercise, and try their best to maintain the original normal lifestyle and habits. The ultrasonic bone density testing system, arteriosclerosis test system and other related test instruments are used to test the related indexes accordingly before and after exercise practising.Results:After six months of Health-care Qigong·the Five-Animal Frolics practice, the subjects’systolic blood pressure of left upper limb and the right upper limb is lower than that before the practice, and there is a significant difference (P<0.01), and the left upper limb and the right upper limb diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure are not significantly different from that before the practice (P>0.05), but lowered; the subjects’left lower limb and right lower limb systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and mean arterial pressure are lower than that before the practice (P<0.05,0.01), especially, the right lower limb diastolic blood pressure change is the most obvious.After six months of Health-care Qigong·the Five-Animal Frolics practice, the subjects’ejection time extends longer than that before the practice, the pre ejection period shortenes, but the two indicators show no significant difference from that before the practice (P>0.05), the heart rate slows down than that before (P>0.05); After practice, the subjects’ejection indexes increase significantly, and there is statistical significance (P<0.05).Through six months of Health-care Qigong·the Five-Animal Frolics practice, the subjects’heart to right ankle pulse wave velocity and the heart to the left ankle pulse wave velocity decrease significantly (P<0.05), the heart to the right arm pulse wave velocity, the right brachial ankle pulse wave velocity and left lateral brachial ankle pulse wave conduction speed are no significant difference comparing that before the practice (P>0.05), but show a slowing trend.After six month of Health-care Qigong·the Five-Animal Frolics practice, middle and older exercisers’right ankle brachium indexes, left ankle brachium indexes increase compared to that before, but no significant difference (P>0.05), RAUT and LAUT are slightly less than that before the practice (P>0.05), the indexes above have no significant change as that before the practice, but showed a good trend to healthiness. Through six months of Health-care Qigong·the Five-Animal Frolics practice, exercisers bone mineral contents, lean body mass and bone density have increased, but no significant difference (P>0.05), the fat contents and the body fat percentage have decreased significantly, and there is statistical significance (P<0.05).The main conclusion:The six months of Health-care Qigong·the Five-Animal Frolics practice can make the heart rate, blood pressure, STI, left and right ankle brachial indexes, pulse wave velocity, of elderly women change healthily, which can effectively prevent female elderly arteriosclerosis appearing and developing The Health-care Qigong·the Five-Animal Frolics practice can effectively improve body composition indexes of elderly women, reduce body fat and increase lean body mass;The Health-care Qigong·the Five-Animal Frolics practice can have a positive improvement trend on elderly women bone mineral contents, bone mineral density.
