In a recent study, Tai Chi has been found to be beneficial to improve systole blood pressure, heart rate, body mass index, waist–hip ratio, perceived health, and physical fitness in the eldery. The effects of Tai Chi may be focused more on chronic disease with a long-term training program in the future. This study was researched and documented on dove medical press publishing and as a result of the findings, retirement homes nationwide in America have put Tai Chi training as a group exercise in their community calendar. All elderly patients who are able to perform the functions are encouraged to check their community calendar for the next Tai Chi events.
