In this study, researchers from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University explored the potential influence of curriculum, frequency of practice, and dietary quality on the health of tai chi and qigong practitioners. The results of their study were published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Based on their findings, the researchers concluded that intervention designers, tai chi teachers, and practitioners need to consider the potential influence of curricula, out-of-class practice, and healthy diets for optimizing health-related gains and minimizing age-related losses in interventions and community-based programs.
