Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise in rural elderly.Methods:From May to September 2020, totally 80 aged people from 2 villages in Hebei province were selected by convenient sampling. Patients from one village were randomly included into an intervention group ( n=40) , and patients from the other village were included into a control group ( n=40) . Patients in the control group took daily activities and exercise, and received only health education, while patients in the intervention group practiced Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise in addition to daily activities. The Chinese version of Fried Frailty Phenotype Assessment Components, Time Up and Go Test (TUGT) , Five-Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) , and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to evaluate the frailty, balance ability, lower limb muscle strength, and sleep quality of the two groups of rural elderly before and after the intervention. In this study, totally 80 questionnaires were distributed, and 78 valid questionnaires were recovered, accounting for an effective recovery rate of 97.5%. Results:The Chinese version of Fried Frailty Phenotype Assessment Components and PSQI scores of the rural elderly in the intervention group after the intervention were lower than those in the control group and before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The TUGT and FTSST time of the rural elderly in the intervention group after the intervention were shorter than those in the control group and before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Baduanjin combined with resistance exercise can delay the debilitating state of rural elderly, improve their lower limb muscle strength, balance ability and sleep quality, and enrich their exercise methods.
