Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Data is gathered via the Mental Health Inventory (MHI) adapted to the Portuguese population to assess quantitative mental health scores and a simple structured interview to assess qualitative mental health benefits of Chikung (Qigong).
Qigong was the chosen technique to be studied as an intervention. Qigong is a Traditional Chinese Medicine therapeutic tool that has been studied for its several health benefits. As a traditional vegetative biofeedback therapy, Qigong can be useful for the maintenance of mental health of people with several conditions such as anxiety and depression, autism spectrum disorder and even conditions related to behavioral control.
* Group 1 was composed of Qigong practitioners (for at least 3 months).
* Group 2 was composed of participants who would receive the Qigong intervention (never practiced Qigong).
* Group 3 was composed of control participants (who would not receive the intervention).
