文章作者刘宇(现任上海体育学院运动科学学院院长)在一份研究中指出,心血管疾病是当今世界致残甚至致死的“头号杀手,而中国传统运动对于改善这类疾病患者的生活质量具有低风险和积极促进作用。
"But the physical and psychological benefits to these patients of this increasingly popular form ofexercise must be determined based on scientific evidence."

In the new study, the researchers reviewed 35 research articles, which included 2,249cardiovascular disease patients from 10 countries.
在这项新研究中,研究人员参考了35篇相关文献,涵盖来自十个国家的2249名心血管病患者。
They found Chinese exercises helped reduce the participants’ systolic blood pressure, the topnumber, by more than 9.12 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure, the bottom number, by morethan 5 mmHg on average.
研究者发现这项中国的传统运动可以使患者收缩压即高压平均降低至少9.12毫米汞柱,使患者舒张压即低压平均降低至少5毫米汞柱。
The study also revealed small, but statistically significant drops in the levels of bad cholesterol, orlow-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides.

Chinese exercises also seemed to improve quality of life and reduce depression in patients withcardiovascular disease, they said.

However, traditional Chinese exercises did not significantly improve participant’s heart rate, aerobicfitness level or scores on a general health questionnaire.
然而,中国的这些传统运动并不能显著得提高患者心率及心脏有氧机能,同时也不会使病人的身体状况得到明显改善。
The review only analyzed studies which randomly assigned participants to groups performingtraditional Chinese exercises, most commonly Tai Chi, Qigong and Baduanjin, engaging in anotherform of exercise or making no change in activity level.
该研究只是对比分析了将不同参与者随机分配后,进行各种传统运动方式比如太极、轻功和八段锦,以及相同剧烈程度的其它运动方式后的结果。
