Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Investigators conducted a single-blind, randomized trial of Taijiquan exercise as compared with a control intervention consisting of wellness education and jogging for youngsters with visual impairments. Sessions lasted 60 minutes each and took place three times a week for 12 weeks for each of the study groups. The primary end point was a change in the Brockport Physical Fitness Test (BPFT) at the end of 12 weeks. Secondary end points included summary scores of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)at the end of 12 weeks.
