- Qigong for Health and Fitness
Course introduction
The therapeutic benefits of Qigong have been known for centuries. The ancient healing art is supported by compelling research evidence on its efficacy in improving health and the quality of life. Over 15 randomized control trials conducted around the world demonstrated that practice of Qigong significantly reduced stress and anxiety, and improved musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and immune health, physical function, self-efficacy and quality of life.
Based on research evidence and guided by exercise prescription principles and safety guidelines, ©the Qigong for Health and Fitness Program is designed to improve musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and immune health, increase fitness level and improve the quality of life. It consists of eight forms with symmetrical movements designed to stimulate energy flow, raise energy level and achieve energy balance.
