    Input: Tai Chi ( TC ) can be considered safe and effective intervention to improve pain and pain-related functional disability . However , it is unclear that whether aging individuals with Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain ( CNS-LBP ) can achieve positive results . This study , therefore , attempted to explore the effects of TC on pain and functional disability in CNS-LBP patients aged 50 years old or above . Forty-three individuals ( aged 50 years old or above ) with CNS-LBP were r and omly assigned into three groups : Chen-Style TC group ( n = 15 ) , Core Stabilization training ( CST ) group ( n = 15 ) , and control group ( n = 13 ) . Participants in the TC group participated in Chen-style TC training program ( three 60-min sessions per week for 12 weeks ) , individuals in CST group received 12-week Core Stabilization exercise on the Swiss ball , whereas individuals in the control group maintained their unaltered lifestyle . Pain intensity as primary outcome was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale ( VAS ) , A BiodexSystem 3 isokinetic dynamometer was used to measure knee and ankle joint position sense ( JPS ) as secondary outcomes at baseline and after the 12-week intervention . TC and CST have significant effects in VAS for CNS-LBP patients ( p < 0.01 , TC group OR CST group versus control group in mean of the post-minus-pre assessment ) . However , the feature of joint position sense ( JPS ) of ankle inversion , ankle eversion and knee flexion did not occur , it showed no significant effects with TC and CST . TC was found to reduce pain , but not improve lower limb proprioception in patients with CNS-LBP . Future research with larger sample sizes will be needed to achieve more definitive findings on the effects of TC on both pain and lower limb proprioception in this population Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Tai Chi ( TC ) on arterial stiffness , physical function of lower-limb , and cognitive ability in adults aged over 60 . Methods : This study was a prospect i ve and r and omized 12-week intervention trial with three repeated measurements ( baseline , 6 , and 12 weeks ) . Sixty healthy adults who met the inclusion criteria were r and omly allocated into three training conditions ( TC-24 , TC-42 , and TC-56 ) matched by gender , with 20 participants ( 10 males , 10 females ) in each of the three groups . We measured the following health outcomes , including markers of atherosclerosis , physical function ( leg power , and static and dynamic balance ) of lower-limb , and cognitive ability . Results : When all three TC groups ( p < 0.05 ) have showed significant improvements on these outcomes but overall cognitive ability at 6 or 12 weeks training period , TC-56 appears to have superior effects on arterial stiffness and static/dynamic balance in the present study . Conclusions : Study results of the present study add to growing body of evidence regarding therapeutic TC for health promotion and disease prevention in aging population . Future studies should further determine whether TC-42 and TC-56 are beneficial for other non-Chinese population s , with rigorous research design and follow-up assessment Objectives : For this paper , we aim ed to investigate the effects of Tai Chi Chuan ( TCC ) versus the Core Stability Training ( CST ) program on neuromuscular function ( NF ) in the lower extremities among aging individuals who suffered from non-specific chronic lower back pain ( NLBP ) . Regarding the design , during a 12-week intervention , a single-blinded r and omized controlled trial was used to compare two intervention groups with a control group on the parameters of NF . Methods : Forty-three Chinese community-dwellers were r and omly assigned into two intervention groups ( three sessions per week , with each session lasting 60 min in TCC and CST ) and a control group . The patient-based Visual Analogue Scale ( VAS ) was used to measure the level of perceived pain , while parameters of NF as primary outcomes were measured by the Biodex System 3 Isokinetic Dynamometer . Results : For the knee joint , we observed significant differences in the endurance of left extension at a speed of 60 ° /s : ( 1 ) between TCC and control groups ( p < 0.01 ) ; ( 2 ) between CST and control groups ( p < 0.01 ) . For the ankle joint , significant differences between CST and control groups were observed on the peak torque of left dorsiflexion ( p < 0.05 ) and the endurance of the left plantar flexion at a speed of 60 ° /s ( p < 0.05 ) . In addition , we observed a significant difference between TCC and control groups in the endurance of the right plantar flexion ( p < 0.05 ) . Conclusions : Chen-style TCC and CST were found to have protective effects on NF in aging individuals with NLBP , while alleviating non-specific chronic pain
