Despite this strong evidence base and growing policy support, the translation of tai ji quan from research into routine clinical practice remains limited. Addressing this evidence-to-practice gap will require innovative translational strategies that more effectively integrate evidence-based tai ji quan with evolving models of healthcare delivery and emerging digital health technologies. This article reviews the current state of tai ji quan research in falls prevention and proposes an integrated translational roadmap to advance its adoption as a routinely prescribed, clinically embedded, technology-driven intervention. The roadmap is built upon 3 interrelated pillars: embedding tai ji quan within routine clinical workflows, expanding evidence generation through decentralized virtual trial designs, and augmenting implementation through responsibly governed artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tools and systems. The framework presented may also serve as a generalizable model for applying evidence-based exercise medicine to the prevention, treatment, and management of other chronic conditions associated with aging.</p>","PeriodicalId":48897,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport and Health Science","volume":" ","pages":"101169"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148867524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emerging evidence suggests that exercise in thermoneutral conditions (ExN) may elicit comparable adaptations, challenging the benefits of heat exposure.

Accordingly, this study aimed to compare the effects of ExH and ExN on markers of heat adaptation and aerobic performance in the heat, and to conduct exploratory analyses of within-group changes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Five databases (PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched up to November 20, 2025. Data extracted included key physiological outcomes (e.g., core temperature (T_core), heart rate (HR), skin temperature (T_sk), and sweat rate (SR)) and aerobic performance in the heat.
