Taijiquan is known to increase flexibility and improve balance.Now,new research suggests it’s better than more vigorous aerobic (有氧的) exercise for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension (高血压前期).
In the new study,researchers in China randomly assigned 342 adults with prehypertension to two groups.The average age of participants was 49.Roughly half the people participated in guided aerobic exercise,including jogging,climbing stairs,and cycling.The other half was trained to practice Taijiquan.Both groups got hour-long sessions four times a week.
After 12 months,those in the Taijiquan group saw bigger drops in their blood pressure than those in the aerobic exercise group.What’s more,nearly 22% of the people who practiced Taijiquan saw their blood pressure fall to within normal range,compared with nearly 16% of people in the aerobic exercise group.And fewer patients in the Taijiquan group went on to develop hypertension than in the aerobic exercise group.
So how does Taijiquan help lower blood pressure “The practice tends to stimulate more of a response from the Parasympathetic Nervous System (副交感神经系统) or PNS for short,” says Ruth Taylor-Piliae,a professor at the University of Arizona’s College of Nursing.The PNS is the network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger.
“The PNS helps us relax everything,and I think it is the response that is lowering blood pressure,” says Ruth Taylor-Piliae,“I think it’s also the meditative quality of Taijiquan.”
The practice is appealing as a form of exercise because it requires little space or equipment.“I think the beauty of Taijiquan is that you don’t have to own a special gym membership;you don’t have to buy special clothing,” Ruth Taylor-Piliae says.“Once you learn Taijiquan,you can do it anytime,anyplace,anywhere.And it does provide that calming,relaxing effect.”
(　　)4.What is the main focus of the research in the text
[A] The impact of prehypertension on health.
[B] The benefits of aerobic exercise to health.
[C] The effect of Taijiquan on lowering blood pressure.
[D] The role of the Parasympathetic Nervous System in exercise.
(　　)5.What can we infer about the study from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3
[A] Taijiquan group gained more benefits.
[B] Participants were adults chosen at random.
[C] Age and gender were taken into consideration.
[D] Aerobic exercise group hardly developed hypertension.
(　　)6.According to Ruth Taylor-Piliae,which is the key factor in Taijiquan’s impact on blood pressure
[A] Responses from the PNS.
[B] Increased intensity of exercise.
[C] Activation of the nervous system.
[D] Requirements of special equipment for practice.
(　　)7.What does Ruth Taylor-Piliae think of Taijiquan
[A] Costly. [B] Convenient.
[C] Instructive. [D] Demanding.
