Tóm tắt

To examine the physiological effects of Korean traditional Qi‐training, we investigated the changes in blood pressure, heart and respiratory rates before, during and after ChunDoSunBup (CDSB) Qi‐training. Twelve normal healthy CDSB Qi‐trainees (19–37 years old; trained for 1·3 ± 0·2 years; 9 men and 3 women) volunteered to participate in this study. Heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure and rate–pressure product were significantly decreased during Qi‐training. From these results, we suggest that CDSB Qi‐training has physiological effects that indicate stabilization of cardiovascular system.
