Dao yin exercise of Traditional Chinese Medicine(Dao yin exercise of TCM)has been used as a health-preserving method for Chinese medicine to treat and prevent diseases since its inception.Based on the idea of bionics,the Daoyin exercise is a kind of exercise which is a health-preserving method formed by combining life practice and traditional Chinese medicine theory.Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory,it is the external body movement with the regulation of breathing,supplemented by the method of mental adjustment,long-term practice can enhance the physical adjustment of free mood prolong life,and it has a positive effect on the treatment and prevention of disease.The development of Daoyin exercise has gone through several important stages of accumulation,formation,integration,formation of different routines,popularization,slow development,and gradual attention.Dao yin exercise of TCM has a long history and rich content,Baduanjin,as one of its important representatives,originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years.The current formula of Baduanjin was developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,such as "Holding the Hands High with Palms Up to Regulate the Internal Organs" "Posing as an Archer Shooting Both Left-and Right-Handed" "Holding One Arm Aloft to Regulate the Functions of the Spleen and Stomach" and so on.The eight movements are shown in their formulas,and each movement corresponds to regulating different viscera.In order to meet the needs of the society and people’s health strategy,the General Administration of Sports of the People’s Republic of China integrated the development history and action connotation of Baduanjin,and standardized and promoted it.The version of Baduanjin used in this study is the version of the State Sports General Administration.The regulating effect of on organs function is mostly used as an adjuvant therapy to intervene diseases in modern research.There is still a lack of observation on the exercise effect of Baduanjin as a simple exercise method.The mechanism of regulation still lacks objective quantitative indicators.As a living organism,the human body undergoes physiological and physical changes all the time.These activities affect the body temperature all the time.As a branch of an unbalanced thermal system,the human body is also a process of continuous heat dissipation in its life activities.Affected by many factors,energy can be converted into heat and dissipated in the form of heat during physiological activities,and then dissipated to the body surface by the cooling system;Similarly,changes in external environmental conditions and changes in human movement status are closely related to the heat production and heat dissipation of the viscera tissues.Therefore,by observing the changes in the body surface temperature before and after the exercise,we can infer the internal visceral function of healthy people.The changing situation lays a theoretical foundation for the function of Baduanjin.Infrared thermal imaging technology is used to view or measure the thermal energy radiated by objects using infrared thermal imaging measuring instrument.Infrared thermal imaging technology is by accepting the human body infrared radiation wave,the human body surface thermal radiation wave into electrical signals,and converted into temperature,with different colors to express different temperatures,display infrared light wave map,that is,infrared thermal image.The technology since the 1970 s application in the field of traditional Chinese medicine,based on the temperature data is accurate,not contact with the skin,does not destroy the original temperature field,and the temperature is measured quickly,each pictures contain tens of thousands of the temperature of the pixel value,and harmless to human body.Because of the characteristics of repeatability and advantages,the infrared thermal imaging detection is gradually widely used in the medical field.The external signs of human body can reflect the physiological activities and pathological changes of internal organs to a certain extent.As stated in the《Lei Jing》:’There are all kinds of inside,and all kinds of outside must be implemented’,Such external signs can also objectively reflect the internal function changes of the zang-fu organs.As a branch of Daoyin exercise,Baduanjin is used as an exercise method to observe the changes of body surface temperature in healthy people before exercise,immediately after exercise,and after 12 weeks of exercise,referring to the results of the exercise temperature change in the ninth set of broadcast gymnastics and no exercise of any form of exercise,Based on this,we infer the specificity of Baduanjin’s regulating effect on human viscera functions,and provide objective and quantitative indicators for Baduanjini’s functional functions of‘coordinating visceral functions’ and‘dredging meridians and clear the meridians and blood circulation’.It is of great significance and value to provide objective and visualized scientific basis for the treatment of dominant diseases in various clinical departments.Objective:To explore the effect of practicing Baduanjin on the functions of the zang-fu organs,and to provide objective and visual indicators for the effects of Baduanjin on ’coordinating visceral functions’ and ’dredging meridians and dredge meridian qi and blood’,to explore the specific effect about the exercise of Baduanjin in order to prove the specific effects of Baduanjin in ’coordinating the functions of the viscera’ and promoting the circulation of Qi and blood’,and provide a scientific and objective theoretical basis for the clinical application of Baduanjin for the treatment of dominant diseases.Methods:This study recruited 120 healthy subjects aged 20-60 as research subjects,and divided the subjects into three groups by random number table method,13 people were eliminated according to the criteria for shedding,and finally included 107 people,36 people in the experimental group,35 people in the control group and 36 people in the blank group.Three groups of subjects underwent three different kinds of exercises:Badanjin,the ninth set of broadcast gymnastics,and no practice.Through the "infrared thermal imaging camera(FILR-SC660)",the infrared images of the subjects before the exercise,immediately after the exercise,and 12 weeks after the exercise were collected.Changes in thermal images and subjects’ body surface temperature values,as well as changes in height,weight,blood pressure,five-organ system health status and quality of life scale scores before and after the exercise were compared among the three groups of subjects before and immediately after the exercise as well as 12weeks later.And the changes and differences of the monitored indicators after 12 weeks of exercise.Results:1.The changes of body weight and body mass index in three groups before and after exerciseAfter 12 weeks of exercise,among the three groups of subjects,the weight of the subjects in the experimental group decreased the most,followed by the control group,and the subjects in the blank group showed a slight upward trend.There was a statistical difference in the change of body mass index(P<0.05),while the control group showed a downward trend,but there was no statistical change before and after the exercise(P<0.05),and the blank group showed a slight upward trend,with no statistical difference before and after(P<0.05).2.Baduanjin has no significant effect on regulating blood pressure of healthy peopleAfter 12 weeks of observation,there was no significant change in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the three groups of subjects,that is,there was no statistical difference.This result may be related to the fact that the subjects of this study were healthy subjects.Because the included populations were all healthy subjects aged 20-60 years old,and their blood pressure levels were within the normal range,there was no statistical difference between before and after the exercise,suggesting that follow-up research is to prove the regulating effect of Baduanjin on blood pressure.Hypertensive patients can be used as research subjects.3.Changes of self-reporting questionnaire in health status of Five Zang-organs system(HEFESCM-36)with the three groups before and after exercise:After 12 weeks of exercise,the score of each system in the experimental group increased,but only the score of heart system in the control group and the blank group increased(P<0.05);There were statistically significant differences between experimental group and control group and blank group(P<0.05),in which the spleen system of the control group and the heart system and kidney system of the blank group were significantly different(P<0.01).Only the heart system score of the control group was significantly different from that of the blank group(P<0.05).4.The Mos 36-item Short Form Health Survey changes before and after exerciseAfter 12 weeks of exercise,the scores of each dimension of the experimental group increased.There were statistically significant differences in General Health(GH),Vitality(VT),Social Functioning(SF)and role-emotional(RE)(P<0.05);There were statistically significant differences in GH,VT and SF between the experimental group and the control group,and statistically significant differences in Mental Health(MH)between the experimental group and the blank group(P<0.05).5.Changes of temperature of zang-fu before and after exerciseImmediately after exercise,the temperature value of experimental group increased,while that of control group and blank group decreased;After 12 weeks of exercise,the temperature of experimental group increased significantly(P<0.01);The temperature of each viscera in experimental group was increased compared with that in control group(P<0.05).6.The temperature changes of limbs and trunk before and after exercise in three groupsImmediately after exercise,the temperature of right limb and right ankle in the experimental group decreased compared with that before exercise(P<0.05),and the right ankle of the experimental group and the control group showed statistical differences compared with the blank group(P<0.05).In addition,there was a significant statistical difference between the control group and the blank group in dorsal ankle joint immediately after exercise(P<0.01).After 12 weeks,the temperature of lower limb,wrist and ankle in experimental group decreased(P<0.05),while the temperature of wrist and ankle in control group increased(P<0.05),dorsal wrist and ankle in experimental group decreased(P<0.05),and back ankle in control group increased(P<0.05).In addition,the dorsal wrist area of the control group was significantly different from that of the blank group(P<0.05).Conclusion:1.Long-term exercise of Baduanjin can reduce body weight and regulate body mass indexAfter 12 weeks of exercise,there were statistical differences in the body weight and body mass index of the three groups of subjects.The body weight and body mass index of the subjects in the experimental group decreased,suggesting that Baduanjin,as one of the branches of Daoyin exercise,long-term exercise can reduce the body weight of healthy people.body weight,improving its body mass index.In addition,about the effect on blood pressure,After 12 weeks of observation,there was no significant change in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the three groups of subjects,that is,there was no statistical difference.This result may be related to the fact that the subjects of this study were healthy subjects.Because the included populations were all healthy subjects aged 20-60 years old,and their blood pressure levels were within the normal range,there was no statistical difference between before and after the exercise,suggesting that follow-up research is to prove the regulating effect of Baduanjin on blood pressure.Hypertensive patients can be used as research subjects.2.Baduanjin has a positive effect on improving the status of the health in zang-fuAfter 12 weeks,the scores of each system in the experimental group increased,the control group and blank group only heart score increased(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group and between the experimental group and the blank group(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences between the spleen system of the control group and the heart system and kidney system of the blank group(P<0.01).Compared with the control group and the blank group,only the heart system score had statistical difference(P<0.05),It can be seen that the overall adjustment effect of baduan Jin long-term practice on the satisfaction of zang-fu is better than that of the ninth set of broadcast gymnastics and the blank without practice.3.Baduanjin can improve the quality of life of healthy people to a certain extentAfter 12 weeks of exercise,there were statistical differences in the quality of life scores among the three groups.The experimental group had statistical differences in GH,VT,SF,and RE scores after practicing Baduanjin for 12 weeks.The control group had VT after practicing the ninth set of broadcast gymnastics.,RE and MH scores also showed statistical differences,suggesting that different exercise methods have a positive regulatory effect on improving human health and mental and emotional functions,suggesting that Baduanjin can play its coordination role as a psychological and spiritual adjustment exercise.4.Baduanjin can increase the temperature of zang-fu of the healthyIn the observation immediately after exercise and after 12 weeks of exercise,the temperature of zang-fu of the experimental group increased,and after 12 weeks of exercise,compared with the control group and the blank group,there was statistical difference in temperature change(P<0.05).It is suggested that the effect of experimental group is better than control group and blank group in improving the function and temperature of zang-fu in the health,besides the effect of long-term training is better.5.The ninth set of broadcast exercises can raise the temperature of wrist and ankle joints of healthy peopleThere was no statistical difference between the experimental group and the blank group,while there was statistical difference between the control group and the blank group(P<0.05).It is suggested that the effect of the ninth set of broadcast gymnastics is better than that of the experimental group and the blank group in regulating wrist and ankle joint temperature,and long-term practice can promote the rise of wrist and ankle joint temperature.
