The Practical Research on the Promotion of College Students' Physical and Mental Health Through the Integration of Tai Chi and Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory
Background
Contemporary university students are facing increasing academic and employment pressures, leading to prominent psychological issues such as anxiety and emotional instability, which has sparked concern over interventions for physical and mental health. Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese exercise, emphasizes harmony between the mind and body. Through slow and deliberate movements combined with breath regulation, it is believed to contribute to the improvement of physical and mental health.
Subjects and Methods
This study employed a randomized controlled trial, who were divided into an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 50 participants. Data was collected through standardized questionnaires, body composition tests, and cardiopulmonary function assessments. Mental health evaluations were conducted using the GAD-7 and CD-RISC scales, with SPSS utilized for statistical analysis of pre-and post-intervention results.
Results
The study found that the Tai Chi group demonstrated significant improvements in both physical and mental health. Positive changes were observed in body composition indicators, and cardiopulmonary function indicators also showed improvement. The benefits in terms of mental health were evident, with a significant reduction in anxiety levels and a marked increase in psychological resilience.
Conclusions
This study, integrating traditional Chinese medicine theory, Tai Chi provides a holistic approach to addressing health challenges, capable of reducing anxiety, enhancing psychological resilience, and improving physical fitness. It underscores the potential of Tai Chi as a tool in fostering a healthy campus culture and offers theoretical and practical references for promoting the health of college students through traditional wellness practices in the future.
