摘要: Aging causes various changes in body composition, which are critical implications for health and physical functioning aging adults. The aim of this study was to explore the composition outcomes a qigong intervention among community-dwelling This quasi-experimental 90 participants were recruited. Forty-eight (experimental group) attended 30-min program 3 times per week 12 weeks, whereas 42 (control continued performing their usual daily activities. experimental group achieved greater reduction fat mass percentage at posttest, exhibited increased fat-free mass, lean percentage, ratio compared with controls. No difference between two groups index, observed. These results indicated that showed beneficial
