The Influence Of Baduanjin On The Function Of Human Cardiac Vessels: Experimental Research

Baduanjin is a kind of Chinese traditional Qigong and its name originates from Chinese silk products. They say practicing Baduanjin can prevent diseases and is very helpful to human health. Baduanjin has been widely practiced in China for a long time and now it is one of the most important and popular forms of Qigong in China.Physiological markers like blood pressure, vessels pressure difference, ECG, blood-oxygen saturation level etc express changes of cardiac vessels function. Skin temperature depends on the state of skin vessels and quantity of local blood flowing. Changes in the elasticity of cardiac vessels can be observed through measuring the skin temperature and latent time of limb extremities. Skin temperature increment implies blood vessels relaxation, volume expansion and adaptability of elasticity. Latent time is the time difference between when heart starts to beat and when its pulse arrives at radial artery. Cardiac pulse and radial pulse is not simultaneous. It takes time for pulse to arrive at radial artery from heart. Latent time has a close connection with blood vessels elasticity, quality of blood and peripheral resistance. Shortened latent time implies improvement of blood vessels elasticity, peripheral resistance and ability of preventing cardiac vessels diseases.Experimental group practiced Baduanjin and control group did not undergo any physical exercise. This research is about comparing these two groups through measuring blood pressure, ECG, vessels pressure difference, blood-oxygen saturation level, extremities skin temperature and latent time of cardiac and radial pulses. Through observing changes in physiological markers, We can understand how practicing Baduanjin can affect the human body.In this experiment, Physiological markers were measured one week before experimental group began to practice Baduanjin. After this group practiced 10...
