Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of Baduanjin on the sleep quality of college students with Yang deficiency.Methods Forty college students with Yang deficiency and sleep quality problems were randomly divided into a control group and a Baduanjin group,each of 20.Both groups received health education,while the Baduanjin group additionally practiced daily 60-minute Baduanjin at least 4 times a week for 10 weeks.Before and after the intervention,the Yang deficiency physical transfor-mation score and Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)of both groups were observed,and their correla-tion was analyzed.Results After the intervention,the average Yang deficiency physical transformation score of the Baduanjin group decreased significantly compared with before the intervention and the con-trol group at the same time point(P＜0.01 for both).Moreover,after the intervention,the average total PSQI scores and scores of all dimensions except the sleep time and sleep efficiency of the Baduanjin group were significantly lower than those before that,and the control group at the same time point(P＜0.05 for both).The total PSQI scores and scores except sleep time and sleep efficiency in the Baduan-jin group after the intervention were lower than those in the control group at the same time(P＜0.05).However,no significant differences were found in all the measurements of the control group before and after the intervention(P＞0.05).In addition,there was a significant positive correlation between the change in the Yang deficiency physical transformation score and the total PSQI in the Baduanjin group before and after intervention(P＜0.05),but not in the control group.Meanwhile,the total effective rate of the Baduanjin group was significantly higher than the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Practicing Baduanjin can effectively improve the sleep quality of college students with Yang deficiency and their biased Yang deficiency constitution,and their improvement is of positive correlation.
