Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
40 elderly people over 60 years old who have no regular exercise habits were divided into PSG group and ASE group, and each group was given two months of exercise training (at least 24 times of exercise, 30 minutes totally within one day). PSG group was asked to perform PSG exercises (actions were synchronized with the hands raised to shoulder height and then swinging down and back, with two squatting movements at the fifth time). ASE group was asked to perform ASE exercises (actions were to raise both hands synchronously to a 30-degree bend and then 60-degree shoulder extension, and to control the stability of the upper body when swinging arms).
Evaluation procedures of the pretraining evaluation and post-training evaluation are exactly the same.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
2-month Ping-Shuai Gong (PSG) training
Ping-Shuai Gong (PSG) is pioneered by Qi Gong master, Li Feng-shan. It is featured in synchronous and rhythmic arm-swinging movement, with arms straightly forward flexing to shoulder level and backward extending repeatedly, and combined with lightly squat twice while arms swing to the fifth time and continue this cycle.
They were asked to conduct and record 30 minutes of PSG in one day lasting for 2-month, and at least 3 days a week.
Low intensity exercise - Ping-Shuai Gong (PSG)
Participants were asked to conduct and record 30 minutes of PSG in one day lasting for 2-month, and at least 3 days a week. A record sheet were sent to the participants in the first time, and the contact information of examiner were given as well. The examiner will check the completion of exercise execution via phone every two to three days and visit participants to confirm the correctness of movement at least one time during the 2-month intervention period.
2-month Arm-Swing-Exercise (ASE) training
Participents in Arm-Swing-Exercise (ASE) group were instructed to keep whole upper limbs pronated, and maintain their trunk straight while movement. The movement is to swing bilateral arms forward to around 30 degree and backward to around 60 degree continuously. The participants need to stabilize their trunk, pelvic, and legs while bilateral arms swinging passing through the side of the trunk. The most significant difference from PSG group is the way they pull the arm, not just swing backward and downward.
They were asked to conduct and record 30 minutes of ASE in one day lasting for 2-month, and at least 3 days a week.
Low intensity exercise - Arm-Swing Exercise (ASE)
Participants were asked to conduct and record 30 minutes of ASE in one day lasting for 2-month, and at least 3 days a week. A record sheet were sent to the participants in the first time, and the contact information of examiner were given as well. The examiner will check the completion of exercise execution via phone every two to three days and visit participants to confirm the correctness of movement at least one time during the 2-month intervention period.
