Intervention Effects of High-intensity Tai Chi in Mild or Moderate Asthma
Sponsor: Yufen Wu, MD
Summary
1、 Research objective The main objective of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effect of a comprehensive lifestyle adjustment and stress management plan based on high-intensity Tai Chi on asthma patients. The main research areas are as follows: 1\) Differences in therapeutic efficacy for mild or moderate asthma patients 2) Potential therapeutic efficacy for adult populations with different weight conditions. 2、 Research significance 2.1 Theoretical significance At present, there is limited research on the rehabilitation efficacy of high-intensity Tai Chi intervention combined with stress management programs for asthma patients. Studying the intervention effects on asthma patients among Chinese university students can fill the gap in this field and lay a theoretical foundation for further applied research in China; Exploring the application effect of high-intensity Tai Chi intervention combined with stress management plan in the treatment of asthma patients may have an important impact on improving their quality of life and rehabilitation treatment, and help expand chronic disease management strategies, which has certain theoretical value. 2.2 Practical significance The intervention effect of Tai Chi and other exercise intervention methods in the rehabilitation treatment of chronic diseases has been clinically validated and has certain innovation. This study combines this type of exercise intervention with a stress management plan, which can provide more clinical evidence and facilitate scholars to conduct other applied research, further improving the exercise rehabilitation program for asthma patients. The intervention results of exercise intervention and stress management plan for college students with asthma still have certain guiding significance for the development of rehabilitation management for asthma patients.

Tai Chi intervention
40-90 minutes per session, 3-5 sessions per week. 6. Each practice mainly includes basic theoretical knowledge, warm-up exercises, standing exercises, Chen style Tai Chi, and relaxation techniques. This study expects to divide the Tai Chi intervention program into three stages: the first stage is the introductory learning of simple high-intensity Chen style Tai Chi, the second stage is the combination of strength training and Chen style Tai Chi courses, and the third stage uses optional high-intensity competitive Chen style Tai Chi or Tai Chi Sword as advanced content to consolidate learning outcomes, such as the 32 style Tai Chi Sword (HR of about 120 times/minute). The intervention plan will be combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to adapt Chen style Tai Chi.
