Study Summary
Tai Chi results in numerous health benefits but whether it can be tailored to elicit different health outcomes is not clear. Therefore, investigators compared the health benefits of two different Tai Chi interventions tailored for improvements in blood pressure (BP) (PRESSURE) or balance (BALANCE). Investigators tailored PRESSURE to emphasize breathing techniques and mental relaxation and BALANCE to emphasize movement principles that challenged balance. Participants were randomized to PRESSURE (n=12), BALANCE (n=13), or CONTROL (n=10). Tai Chi was practiced 3 sessions/week, 60 minute/session for 12 weeks. CONTROL performed normal daily activities. Investigators tested the change in cardiometabolic health, balance, and functional fitness outcomes among groups. Investigators hypothesized that PRESSURE would elicit greater BP reductions compared to BALANCE; meanwhile, BALANCE would elicit greater improvements in balance measures than PRESSURE.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Tai Chi tailored for lowering blood pressure (PRESSURE)
- BEHAVIORAL Tai Chi tailored for improving balance (BALANCE)
