Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
An example of one Chen Taichi posture of EG. The arms and legs and the spine should rotate follow the arrow tips in order to cause a stretch reflex slightly. And then, the exerciser should use relaxation skills to eliminate the stretch reflex, such as exhaling, and drop the control of the body. Relax into Stretch: Instant flexibility through mastering muscle tension. The body-rotation levels should be added in steps with the process of practice. It does not need to accompany breathing except the relaxation needs to exhale. Most of the time breathing is common daily.

Female students of Chen Taichi training based on Relaxation guidelines
Relaxation theory is different from coordination. It only focuses on relaxing the body and mind to an extreme level. Previously, masters of Taichi described or taught it as "relax" or "let nature take its course." This explanation may lead to ignoring it since it is against intuition. Pavel explained the relaxation method as mastering muscle tension. The critical point of Pavel's book is the viewpoint of canceling the stretch reflection. The present study applied this viewpoint to judge the extent and rotation degree when practicing taichi. In other words, students will be taught this skill to relax their bodies when the tension comes out from low posture movements. The relaxation skills also include "dropping the control of the body," "exhale when stretching," "moving like a string puppet without muscle power," "steps like cats," and "three-line relaxation method." Duration:12 weeks. Frequency: 3 times per week. Time length: 90min+60min×2

Female students of Chen Taichi training based on Coordination guidelines
Coordination theory is also called "three in one." It mainly guides exercisers to practice Taichi by integrating the mind, movements, and breathing in a unity state. Students in this group will be taught how to integrate the three requests according to the principles. The principles are "Waist axis," "Movements softy and slowly," "Inspiratory contraction and Expiratory stretch." The training will be conducted on the warming-up time by practicing a single movement and the club time by practicing a learned routine.
Duration:12 weeks. Frequency: 3 times per week. Time length: 90min+60min×2
26 styles of Chen Taichi training based on Coordination guidelines
When the posture needs to open the arms should accompany with "inhale" and when the posture needs to close the arms should accompany with "exhale". Similarly, if the arm is lifting should accompany with inhale, and the put down should accompany with exhale.
