The exercises have been simplified in 1956 which madethis sport even more popular.Taiji is often practiced as an important part of the healing processin hospitals and has proved as extraordinarily succesful in healinghigh blood pressure, neuratenia and lung tubercolosis. The positiveaspects of Taiji can be traced back to its specific character as f. e. 1.) The execises require full concentration while the mind is not deflected by anything2.) All movements are done slowly and are floating in a continous way3.) Natural breathing is necessary. Some parts of the exercises are done while breathing into the stomach. Breath is in rhythmic harmony tothe movements of the body.From the viewpoint of sport medicine Taiji is an important way of prevention and treatment of diseases.As both body and mind are demanded at the same time, these exercisesstimulate the cortex by activating some parts of the brain and by retardingother parts.This allows the brain to relax and stops the tension on the cortex which isprovoqued by different bad influences.Therefore this sport is part of the healing process of different diseases ofnerves and soul. However Taiji is not a mysterious panacea against diseases. But even for beginners it is more than evident that Taiji requiresthe whole body - active and passive.While doing the exercises the muscles are worked on a pleasant way, andgoing from tension to relaxation especially the muscles in the legs are requiredby flexing and stretching.Taiji is an excellent way of strengthening the bones and - as a consequence -to prevent from atrophy. The flexibility of the whole body is trained by the smooth movements.This is the reason why pliability of the joints and the flexibility of the muscles is held up and /or improved.
