Health Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises

All classes are conducted offline and are implemented by professional Health Qigong instructors.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Health Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

All participants received a six-month intervention consisting of two phases: the first month was a movement learning and consolidation phase of 45 minutes per session, once a day; the second five months were a formal practice phase of 45 minutes per session, once a day. In the first phase, participants learn four new movements per session and consolidate these exercises in the next session. After learning all the movements, the remaining time of the first phase was used to consolidate the exercises. In the second phase, participants perform a full Health Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises practice in each session.

Locked exercise

All classes are held offline with professional instructors.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Locked exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

All participants received a six-month intervention of 45 minutes once a day. All participants performed blocked aerobic exercise.

Multiplayer open exercise

All classes are held offline with professional instructors.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multiplayer open exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

All participants received a six-month intervention in the form of a balloon game competition. The intervention consisted of two phases: the first month consisted of a movement learning and consolidation phase of 45 minutes per session, once a day; the second five months consisted of a formal competition phase of 45 minutes per session, once a day. In the first phase, coaches taught participants the technical movements and rules. In the second phase, participants competed in groups during each session, with the coaches acting as referees.
