8 Preface Tai Chi Chuan (TCC, TC, T ai Chi, or Taiji) was originally developed as a form of martial arts. It has been used for centuries in China as a health exercise for a wide age range but has particularly been popular among the elderly. The basic exercise involved in TCC is a series of individual movements that are linked together in a continuous manner and that flow smoothly from one movement to another. Deep breathing and mental concentration are also required to achieve harmony between the body and the mind in TCC. Thus, TCC is not only a physical activity, but it also involves the training of the nervous system. In particular, people practice TCC for the development of mind-body interaction, breath regulation with body movement, eye-hand coordination, and a peaceful state of mind. In addition, TCC can be practiced any time and in any place because it needs neither wide space nor any equipment. The simple, soft, and fluid movements of TCC are ideal for older people regardless of previous exercise experience. Today, it has spread to many countries worldwide, and millions of people in both Eastern and Western countries and cultures are practicing TCC. More importantly, it has been widely accepted as an exercise form for health and fitness benefits. To our knowledge, the first paper in English that presented an experimental study on TCC was published in the 1980s. With the prevalence of an aging population worldwide and with the concomitant increases in expenditure for the relief of chronic disease and disability, interest in TCC has continued to grow. Published results from well-controlled studies about the effects of TCC, particularly those focusing on the elderly, have added to an understanding of the characteristics of TCC movement and its impact on health. Based on the published VIII
9 literature, TCC can seemingly equal all of the exercise demands that elderly people require. Additionally, TCC seems to have the potential to considerably reduce expenditure associated with poor health because it facilitates a lifestyle that promotes the well-being of people of all ages. However, before endorsing these broad observations, two relevant questions must be addressed. What evidence actually exists to suggest that TCC affords any health benefits? Then, if such benefits indeed exist, what are their underlying mechanisms? In light of these, the aim of this book is to reflect current studies focusing on the characteristics of this intriguing form of exercise, their impact on the participants health, and the scientific basis of the beneficial effects of TCC on health and fitness. This book is the first collection of scientific studies on TCC in the world. It is organized into four sections, each containing four to seven chapters, totaling to twenty-two chapters. The first section addresses the biomechanical and physiological characteristics of Tai Chi in seven chapters. The opening chapter highlights the temporal characteristics of foot movement in TCC by Youlian Hong and colleagues, which is followed by the chapter exploring heart rate responses and oxygen consumption during TCC practice by Ching Lan and colleagues. The third chapter, by Dong Qing Xu and colleagues, introduces TCC and muscle strength and endurance in older people. Then Ge Wu discusses the muscle action patterns and isokinetic knee extensor strength of older TCC practitioners. The fifth chapter, contributed by Ruth Taylor-Piliae and colleagues, describes how TCC aids in improving aerobic capacity, while in the sixth chapter, Everard W. Thornton discusses on how TCC helps in improving cardiorespiratory capacity. The section concludes with the chapter that describes the effects of a traditional taiji/qigong curriculum on older adults immune response to influenza vaccine as contributed by Yang Yang and colleagues. The second section highlights the benefits of TCC in terms of balance control and fall prevention in five chapters. The section begins with the chapter on TCC and proprioceptive behavior in older people as contributed by Jing Xian Li and colleagues. The second chapter, written by Strawberry Gatts, addresses the issue of neural mechanism underlying balance control in TCC. Then William W.N. Tsang and Christina W.Y. Hui-Chan discuss how repeated practice of Tai Chi can improve limb joint proprioception, integration of neural signals in the central nervous system for balance control, and motor output at the level of knee muscles. The fourth chapter, contributed by Alice M.K. Wong and Ching Lan, discusses the effects of TCC on balance and posture control in elderly people. Finally, Peter A. Harmer and Fuzhong Li describe TCC and fall prevention in older people. The third section focuses on the mental health and social aspects of TCC and consists of four chapters. Yong Tai Wang addresses TCC and the improvement Preface IX
10 of mental and physical health among college students, which is followed by the chapter on the effects of TCC on depressive symptoms in elderly people by Kee-Lee Chou. In the third chapter, Matthew Kwai-sang Yau discusses TCC and the improvement of health and wellbeing in older adults. The section ends with the chapter written by Robert B. Wall who focuses on teaching TCC with mindfulness-based stress reduction to middle school children in the inner city, which is a review of related literature and approaches. Six chapters in the fourth or the last section demonstrate the application of TCC in clinical intervention. For this purpose, Penelope J. Klein introduces TCC in the management of Parkinson s disease and Alzheimer s disease, and Ching Lan and colleagues address TCC training for individuals with coronary heart disease. Then, Gloria Y. Yeh and colleagues describe TCC in individuals with chronic heart failure, and Karen M. Mustian and colleagues show the effects of TCC on functional capacity and quality of life among breast cancer survivors. The fifth chapter, contributed by Chenchen Wang, is focused on the topic Tai Chi Improves Pain and Functional Status in Adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results of a Pilot Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial. Finally, the book ends with the chapter on the effects of TCC on diabetic individuals as reported by Jing Hao Wang. The contributors to this book are recognized scholars who have all provided original and relevant research articles to the international TCC literature. The chapters they contributed not only provide good examples of how to use TCC in health promotion but also explore the underlying mechanism of the beneficial effects of TCC. The editor is indebted to them for their high-quality contributions. Youlian Hong Preface X
