acute physiological and Psychological Effects of qigong exercise in older practitioners
Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2018Co-Authors: Chenchen Wang, Yumin Wang, Wanchen Chen, Songyen TsaiAbstract:Qigong is a gentle exercise that promotes health and well-being. This study evaluated the acute physiological and Psychological Effects of one session of qigong exercise in older practitioners. A total of 45 participants (mean age, 65.14 years) were recruited. Meridian electrical conductance, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), heart rate variability (HRV), and Short Form 36 (SF-36) were evaluated and compared before and after one session of qigong exercise. The results revealed that the electrical conductance of all meridians, except spleen and bladder meridians, increased significantly (). Compared with baseline values, upper to lower body ratio and sympathetic/vagal index were significantly improved and closer to 1 ( and , resp.). STAI-S and STAI-T scores decreased significantly ( and , resp.). The RR interval of HRV decreased significantly (), a significant positive correlation was observed between kidney meridian electrical conductance and SF-36 physical scores (, ), and a positive correlation was observed between pericardium meridian electrical conductance and SF-36 mental scores (, ). In conclusion, one session of qigong exercise increased meridian electrical conductance, reduced anxiety, and improved body and autonomic nervous system balance. These findings provide scientific evidence for acute physiological and Psychological Effects of qigong exercise in older practitioners.

The Psychological Effects of a Campus Forest Therapy Program.
International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020Co-Authors: Jin Gun Kim, Tae Gyu Khil, Youngsuwn Lim, Kyungja Park, Minja Shin, Won Sop ShinAbstract:This study aimed to examine the Psychological Effects of a campus forest therapy program. To evaluate these, pre-test and post-test control group design was employed. A total of 38 participants participated in this study (19 in the campus forest therapy program group, and 19 in control). The Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaire and Modified form of the Stress Response Inventory (SRI-MF) were administered to each participant to assess Psychological Effects. The results of this study revealed that participants in the campus forest therapy program group had significantly positive increases in their mood and stress response compared with those of control group participants. In conclusion, the campus forest therapy program is an efficient strategy to provide Psychological health benefits to university students and our study can inform decision-makers on the priority of the campus forest program in societal efforts to promote Psychological well-being among university students.
