ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) on the muscle strength in senile sarcopenia.MethodsSixty-five old people with sarcopenia were randomized into Yi Jin Jing group and a blank control group. Thirty-three patients in Yi Jin Jing group practiced Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises), while 32 patients in the blank control group didn’t receive any interventions. The muscle strength was measured before and after 12-week training.ResultsDuring the study, each group had 1 dropout. The muscle strength was improved after 12-week training in Yi Jin Jing group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the blank control group (P>0.05). After the intervention, there was a significant difference between Yi Jin Jing group and the blank control group in comparing the muscle strength (P<0.05).ConclusionConstant Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) training can notably improve skeletal muscle strength in senile sarcopenia.摘要目的观察易筋经锻炼对老年骨骼肌减少症者肌力的影响。方法将65例骨骼肌减少症老年人根据随机数字表随机分成易筋经锻炼组和空白对照组, 易筋经锻炼组33例进行易筋经锻炼, 空白对照组32例不进行任何治疗干预。于锻炼前和锻炼12星期后进行肌力测量。结果研究过程中, 2组均有1例脱落。易筋经锻炼组锻炼12星期后肌力较锻炼前明显增加, 与本组治疗前有统计学差异(P<0.05); 空白对照组干预前后肌力无统计学差异(P>0.05)。治疗后, 易筋经锻炼组肌力与空白对照组有统计学差异(P<0.05)。结论易筋经持续锻炼可以明显增强骨骼肌减少症老年人的骨骼肌肌力。
