The Effect Of Differing Amounts Of 24-Form Taiji Practice On The Symptoms Of Dysmenorrhea In Female University Students

Dysmenorrhea is a widespread affliction among females,and it can severely affect their quality of life.This study aimed to investigate the effects of three full forms and six full forms of 24 form taiji intervention on dysmenorrhea symptoms,how the effects of taiji intervention on the symptoms of dysmenorrhea changed over the duration of the experiment,as well as test the results of previous research.Through these aims,this study hoped to discover how the effect of taiji intervention on dysmenorrhea changes over the course of intervention and how lower amounts of full form training affect dysmenorrhea symptoms.Furthermore,this study hoped to solidify the effects of taiji intervention on dysmenorrhea symptoms,giving more evidence to this field of research.Through the use of literature,questionnaires,experiments,and statistics,the study collected a sample of 18 female university students who volunteered to partake in the exercise intervention.These were randomly grouped into three groups: Control,Intervention 1,and Intervention 2.The control group attended no taiji exercise intervention while the two intervention groups attended 10 weeks of 24 form taiji exercise intervention with Intervention group 1performing 3 full forms of the 24 form taiji,and Intervention group 2 performing 6full forms of the 24 form taiji.Data was collected using questionnaires,and the main focus of this study was investigating changes in the duration of abdominal pain,the dysmenorrhea score,and the assessment of abdominal pain levels using a VAS score.The statistical calculations were performed using SPSS 20.Following a period of learning the 24-form taiji,Intervention group 1 showed a non-significant decrease in dysmenorrhea score by 5.33 points(p>0.05),Intervention group 2 showed a highly significant decrease in dysmenorrhea score by 1.83 points.The control group showed a non-significant slight increase of 0.17 points.Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the three groups.Through the 10 weeks of intervention,none of the groups showed any significant change in the duration of abdominal pain(p>0.05).The VAS score of Intervention group 1 showed a significant decrease of 4.17 points,with a median lowered 3 points after 10 weeks of intervention(p<0.05),this difference also showed when comparing Intervetion group 1 to the control group(p<0.05);Intervention group 2 showed a non-significant decrease in VAS score by 2.17 points,with the median being lowered by 2 points(p>0.05),this change was also insignificant compared to the control group(p>0.05).The control group showed no significant decrease in VAS score(p>0.05).From these results it can be concluded that learning and training 24-form taiji does not affect the duration of abdominal pain during dysmenorrhea,but it lowers the intensity of the pain;attending 24-form taiji learning activities has a lowering effect on dysmenorrhea score,but this effect does not significantly differ from natural changes in everyday life;neither the training of 3 full forms or 6 full forms affect the dysmennorhea score in female university students,but both lower pain intensity with the effect being higher when doing only 3 full forms 5 times per week.Further studies in this area should focus on large,stricktly controlled samples over longer periods of time,as well as continue to observe the effects of the intervention over the course of the study by using multiple measures.
