The effect of Tai Chi on quality of life in male older people: A randomized controlled clinical trial.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND AIM:Physical activity can improve the mental and physical functioning of older people. This study investigated the impact of Tai Chi exercise on the quality of life of older men. METHODS:This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 132 older men in an urban area of Iran. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups: a Tai Chi intervention group and a control group (n = 66 per group). Quality of life was evaluated using the Leiden-Padua quality of life questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using analytical statistics via the SPSS software. RESULTS:After eight weeks of Tai Chi exercise, the mean scores of quality of life in different areas demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < 0 0.05). CONCLUSION:This study illustrated that the 8-week Tai Chi intervention had a positive effect on quality of life in older men.
