Abstract :

Aim: This research aims at recognizing the effect of Qiqong Taiji exercises on the functional efficiency of hypothalamus and medulla oblongata for old people. However it has to be referred:- 1. Stating the most important biochemical variables referring to the functional efficiency of hypothalamus as well as physiological variables referring to the functional afficiency of medulla oblongata for old people. 2. Setting a proposed program of Chinese Qiqong Taiji exercises which suits the nature of the sample. 3. Recognizing the effect of the suggested program of Qiqong Taiji exercises on the variables mentioned in the research through a comparison between the preceding and succeeding measurements Sample: It was randomly chosen from Smoha Club in Alexandria. The sample consisted of 20 persons. Result: 1. There are significant differences in favor of the succeeding measurement in some biochemical variables (CATHCortisol) except (TSHT4) with the research sample (men-women). 2. There are significant differences in favor of the succeeding measurement in some physiological variables (MVMVVRH RHR -VO2 max) exception (FVCBbFEV1) with the research sample (men-women). 3. There are significant differences in favor of the succeeding measurement in some physiological variables (MV at rest MVV RH FEV1 - RHR - VO2 max) exception (FVC Bb MV at work) with the ressearch sample (menwomen). 4. The health sports (Qigong Taiji) have a positive effect on functional efficiency of hypothalamus and medulla oblongata for old people (men- women). There was an improvement in these variables with various degrees.
