Tai Chi Emerges as Powerful Ally in Battle Against Prehypertension
In a pivotal study conducted across two tertiary public hospitals in China, researchers have unearthed a groundbreaking discovery in the realm of cardiovascular health. The investigation, spanning from July 2019 to January 2022, focused on evaluating the effectiveness of Tai Chi versus aerobic exercise in individuals grappling with prehypertension and found that a 12-month Tai Chi intervention is more effective in reducing SBP than aerobic exercise for individuals with prehypertension.
The study results were published in the journal JAMA Network Open.
Prehypertension, characterized by elevated blood pressure falling just below the hypertension threshold, poses a significant health risk. Recognizing the urgency for effective interventions, researchers aimed to compare the impact of Tai Chi and aerobic exercise on blood pressure levels among adults aged 18 to 65 with prehypertension.
