哈爾濱市中老年太極拳練習人群體質(zhì)變化的跟蹤研究

哈爾濱市中老年太極拳練習人群體質(zhì)變化的跟蹤研究摘要：本研究旨在跟蹤研究哈爾濱市中老年太極拳練習人群體質(zhì)變化情況。研究采用問卷調(diào)查和身體健康指標測試相結(jié)合的方式對參加太極拳練習的260名中老年健身者進行研究。結(jié)果表明，太極拳練習對中老年人的身體素質(zhì)、心理素質(zhì)、生活質(zhì)量等方面均有積極影響。其次，本研究運用多元線性回歸分析了太極拳練習對中老年健身者體質(zhì)變化的影響因素。結(jié)果表明，太極拳練習頻率、時長、年齡、性別和健康狀況等因素均對中老年太極拳練習人群的體質(zhì)變化產(chǎn)生顯著影響。

Introduction:隨著人們生活水平的提高和醫(yī)療技術(shù)的飛速發(fā)展，中老年群體成為社會關(guān)注的重點，其健康問題備受關(guān)注。太極拳作為一種傳統(tǒng)的健身運動，受到廣泛的關(guān)注和青睞。但是，目前對太極拳對中老年人身體素質(zhì)的影響因素的研究仍然不夠充分。因此，本研究旨在跟蹤研究哈爾濱市中老年太極拳練習人群體質(zhì)變化情況，并探討太極拳練習對中老年人體質(zhì)變化的影響因素。

Method:本研究采用問卷調(diào)查和身體健康指標測試相結(jié)合的方式對參加太極拳練習的260名中老年健身者進行研究。問卷調(diào)查包括個人基本信息、太極拳練習時間、頻率、時長等；身體健康指標測試包括身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)、血壓、心率、肺活量等。本研究采用SPSS20.0軟件進行多元線性回歸分析。

Results:結(jié)果表明，太極拳練習對中老年人的身體素質(zhì)、心理素質(zhì)、生活質(zhì)量等方面均有積極影響。具體來說，太極拳練習可以促進中老年人的代謝、肌肉力量、柔韌性、心肺功能等方面的改善。此外，本研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，太極拳練習頻率、時長、年齡、性別和健康狀況等因素均對中老年太極拳練習人群的體質(zhì)變化產(chǎn)生顯著影響。

Conclusion:本研究的結(jié)果表明，太極拳練習對中老年人的身體素質(zhì)、心理素質(zhì)、生活質(zhì)量等方面均有積極影響，可以有效地改善中老年人的生活品質(zhì)。在中老年人的健康管理中，太極拳練習應(yīng)該得到更廣泛的推廣和應(yīng)用。
