? The health and fitness function of traditional taijiquan

The essence of Taijiquan is martial arts, but its value of the times is that people pay more attention to it.

According to my experience of more than forty years engaged in learning, research, dissemination, as well as the majority of students, the low-frame effect is indeed very obvious, whether it is the middle-aged and old people, or the majority of young and strong people, generally reflect that it is a more and more popular.

People's physical ability, intelligence, to maintain normal, the most fundamental measure is to realize the dynamic balance of three aspects, that is, the body's dynamic and static balance, the balance of psychological tension and relaxation, the balance of metabolism. Therefore, there is a saying: "Balance is the basis of health." And, it is everywhere about balance, everywhere about yin and yang, yin and yang symmetry, yin and yang, yin and yang, alternating yin and yang, yin and yang, yin and yang, and so on, prompting the human body to self-adjustment of the system as a whole, so as to achieve a kind of homeostasis of life, that is, dynamic equilibrium.

The human body has eight systems, namely, the system, the nervous system, the circulatory system, the digestive system, the urinary system, the endocrine system, and the reproductive system, and taijiquan has a positive effect on the adjustment of these eight systems. Its regulating effect is characterized by the external promotion of the internal, from the internal and external, internal and external combination, internal and external interaction, internal and external combination, internal and external mutual influence, which is what we often say, "a yin and a yang for its root".

First, the boxing low frame on the system of regulation

As the saying goes, people old legs first old. The low-frame taijiquan taught by Mr. Chen Zhaokui attaches the most importance to the movement of the lower limbs, therefore, this set of taijiquan is definitely beneficial to the motor system. By practicing low-frame Taijiquan, the blood vessels are developed and plumped up, which increases the pumping power of blood transportation and return. Through practicing boxing, thigh muscles thicken, the stretching and contraction of muscle groups, itself plays a role in the heart blood collection and release of the pumping force of the role of the auxiliary. In addition, the conversion of real and virtual can be two legs of endurance, to maintain the body's balance is very good.

Second, the spiral movement on the regulation of the circulatory system

Chen-style taijiquan focuses on the smooth reversal of the entanglement strength. This kind of chest and waist of the opening and closing rotation, the hands and feet of the smooth reversal of the tangle of silk, on the relaxation of the tendons, dredge the blood, are good, especially for the human body's microcirculatory system is good. Coupled with the movement of the loose live popping and shaking, this oscillating force, can also promote the microcirculation system.

Three, the dantian internal rotation of the digestive system

This fist emphasizes the dantian internal rotation, the chest and waist folding, all the movements are required to dantian driven, waist does not move, the hand does not send. Therefore, it is first through the dantian internal rotation movement, carried out to improve the function of the capillaries of the small intestine wall, enhance the absorption function; secondly, the movement of the abdomen promotes the peristalsis of the intestine, enhance the function of excretion; and then, due to the dantian internal rotation to strengthen the abdominal movement, but also be able to reduce the accumulation of abdominal fat, have a certain effect on weight loss.

Fourth, the movement of the nervous system regulation

Chen-style taijiquan movement is more, all the way and two **** 154 style, more than 600 movements. Due to the complexity of the movements, it requires a high degree of concentration of the mind when practicing the fist, emphasizing the use of the mind, and substituting one thought for ten thousand thoughts. Therefore, practicing boxing is easier than simply practicing Jing Gong. This is the real seeking for quietness in movement, which is also the "laboring form and condensing the mind in order to strengthen the brain". Taijiquan's unique movement can make the human brain from malignant excitement into benign excitement, so as to achieve the regulation of the nervous system.

V. Regulation of Abdominal Breathing

Chen-style taijiquan emphasizes the internal rotation of the dantian, which is essentially the exercise of abdominal breathing. Abdominal breathing is combined with lung breathing, thus increasing lung capacity. According to research, chest breathing inhales about 500 milliliters of air at a time, while combining abdominal breathing inhales a volume of air of straight 000-heavy 500 milliliters. The increase in breathing volume allows for adequate gas exchange, which is beneficial to the health of lung tissue.

Sixth, the pelvic movement on the endocrine system, the urinary system, the regulation of the reproductive system

Chen-style taijiquan especially emphasizes the movement of the dantian, dantian is located in the position of the pelvis. Exercising the pelvic muscles and ligaments enhances the function of the internal organs in the pelvis, which is also known as strengthening the kidneys and waist in traditional Chinese medicine. There are many examples to show that Chen-style taijiquan has a very good effect on improving the function of the urinary system and reproductive system.

Seven, light and heavy exercise is conducive to the adjustment of the era of the "upper and lower deficiency"

"Upper and lower deficiency" refers to the liver and kidney deficiencies caused by elevated blood pressure, palpitations, insomnia and other symptoms. syndrome. Most of Chen-style taijiquan is to increase the amount of lower plate movement, so that the human body under the plate as solid as a mountain, the upper limbs as the wind blowing willow, which is conducive to the balance of the body's qi and blood, to avoid the disadvantages of the "upper Shengxiaxu". At the same time, Chen-style Taijiquan not only emphasizes the relaxation of the limbs, but also emphasizes the combination of light and heavy, loose and heavy, light and heavy must complement each other, so as to achieve the balance of the upper and lower dynamics and the balance of the body and mind.

Eight, traditional Chen-style taijiquan is the best aerobic metabolic exercise

"Life is in motion", but the form of exercise. Many medical doctors tell us: the best form of exercise is aerobic metabolic exercise. Chen-style taijiquan emphasizes walking low frame, can improve the endurance; in the exercise process, the requirements of fast and slow, there are savings and hair, rigid and flexible, and the time is relatively long, the amount of exercise is larger, can maintain the human body inhalation, transport, use of oxygen metabolic process, to achieve the sweat without gasping for the effect of the exercise. Therefore, it is a very good aerobic metabolic exercise.
