英文摘要



This study explores the effects of Tai Chi Chuan exercise training on the blood pressure, lipid profile and anxiety in patients with mild hypertension an d determines the relationship between the personal characteristic and blood pressure, lipid profile and anxiety of developing mild hypertension disease.

Forty patients with systolic blood pressure 130-159mmHg or diastolic blood pressure 85-99mmHg at a Taipei municipal health institution were selecte d from among a larger pool of patients for inclusion in this study.

Criteria for selection are based on quasi-experimental design with purposive sampling. The patients were divided into two groups, the non-training con trol group and the training experimental group, 20 patients each. Questionnaire, including the personal characteristic measurement, and the anxiety lev el evaluation, was completed for each subject. We evaluated the experimental group before and after 12 weeks of regular Tai Chi Chuan exercise traini ng at three times each week and 30 minutes each time whereas evaluated the control group, that continues their usual lifestyles during the study period, at the absence of 12-week Tai Chi Chuan exercise training. Blood pressure data was collected before and after the exercise training. Lipid profile conc entration was measured by means of laboratory methodology for each subject. In addition, questionnaire was repeated at the end of this study. Pre- and post-training data within group and among the groups were analyzed by means of paired t-test, student t-test, and Mann-Whiteny’ U test.

Research results were shown as follows: patient’s age showed positive correlation with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) level ( rs=0.54, p<0.01). Patient’s education levels were negative correlated with resting heart rate (R-HR) ( rs=-0.36, p<0.05) , HDL-C level (rs=-0.35, p<0.05), trait a nxiety (rs=-0.62, p<0.01), and state anxiety ( rs=-0.47, p<0.01). Economic background showed negative correlation with HDL-C level (rs=-0.40, p<0.

05), trait anxiety( rs=-0.68, p< 0.01), and state anxiety ( rs=-0.54, p< 0.01). Non regular exercise habit showed positive correlation with systolic blood pressure ( rs=0.32, p<0.05). Body weight showed negative correlation with HDL-C level (rs=-0.55, p< 0.01), and state anxiety (rs=-0.32, p<0.05), and positive correlation with triglyceride (TG) level (rs=0.32, p< 0.05). Significant increases in the measured total cholesterol were noted in subjects with high salty or preservative canned food intake (rs=0.39, p<0.05). In addition, systolic pressure showed increased in the subjects with poor, even no, inte nsity of the exercise performed (rs=0.39, p<0.05).

Results of the study showed significant decreases (p<0.001) in measured blood pressure, T-C level, LDL-C level concentration and increases in measu red HDL-C (p<0.05), and improvements in anxiety level (p<0.001) in the exercise-trained group when pre- and post-training values were compared. R egular Tai Chi Chuan exercise training results in reduced (p<0.01) blood pressure and blood lipid concentration and improved anxiety levels in the exe rcise-trained group compared to the non-training control group. Tai Chi Chuan exercise leads to a training intensity of 64% of maximal heart rate (HR max) on average, which is enough to improve the anxiety levels. The relationship between the exercise training intensity and the anxiety levels is show n to be a positive correlation (rs=0.68; 0.53, p<0.01; 0.05).
