Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of Tai Chi on psychological wellbeing, finding that regular practice can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while improving mood and self-esteem in both healthy individuals and those with chronic conditions.
  • The analysis included 40 studies with over 3,800 participants, and most studies showed positive psychological benefits from Tai Chi, supported by large observational studies, although the findings are somewhat limited due to variations in study designs and controls.
  • The review emphasizes the potential mental health benefits of Tai Chi but notes that more rigorous, high-quality long-term studies are needed to confirm these effects and help inform clinical recommendations.]

tai chi ADHDで、pubmed14件。システマティック・レビューによると、太極拳はストレスや不安、抑うつ、自尊心なんかに効きそうな相関はあるけど、結果が不均一で研究統制が不十分だから、臨床的な判断はちょっと難しそう。https://t.co/06IIYgV9nB
