Abstract

This review investigates the efficacy of Tai Chi in enhancing executive functions, drawing on a compilation of diverse studies. Findings consistently highlight improvements in inhibition control, executive function, and overall mental well-being, positioning Tai Chi as an accessible intervention supportive of the cognitive health of college students. Notably, benefits are observed in both older and younger populations, as well as individuals with differing health conditions, underscoring its universal applicability. It equally identifies new research domain for the investigation of the interplay between Tai Chi and executive function, particularly regarding its influence on academic performance/achievement.
