Abstract

Tai ji Quan is characterized by slow movements synchronized with meditation, all coordinated with breathing exercises to achieve spiritual tranquillity. This kind of training exercise is light-to-moderate-intensity exercise with metabolic activity varying between 2.5 and 6.5, thus making it suitable for all age groups. It has excellent health benefits and can provide a wonderful alternative to lots of health-related problems. Existing result shows how its practice can increase the state of health of our body, as well as economic and social development. Finally, this work illustrates the way by which its implementation can be achieved with the use of modern techniques.
