• Abstract:

  The objective of this work is to present the Preliminary Results of a research that we started when accompanying elderly people who voluntarily and free of charge participate in a Zhineng Qi Gong Practice Group, which is an activity that involves Relaxation (Field Organization), Light Physical Activities (Methods and Body Practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and suitable and adaptable to the physical conditions of each person, which allows people of any age or with physical limitations to perform. It was developed and has been disseminated throughout the world since the 1980s by Doctor Pang Ming, PhD, Doctor trained in Western Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), University Professor and Founder of several Study and Research Centers. in China, for example, in Xian. In China there are thousands of practitioners, scholars and researchers who have disseminated these practices that today have benefited from them all over the world. In Brazil, this practice has been disseminated in the last five years through Professor Oscar Silva, from Mexico, and Cassiano Takayassu, from São Paulo. We participated in an Instructor Training Course in Zhineng Qi Gong, Levels 1, 2 and 3, with Teachers from the Center for Studies and Research of Xian and in February 2022 we disseminated, through Whatsapp, the Free Online Practice Group, with activities four times a week. We had several applications, especially from the elderly. During and after the practices we have followed the development of improvements in physical problems (less pain in the cervical, dorsal and lumbar regions), as well as more vitality, more energy and joy in the state of mind. So, we set up a questionnaire adapted from other research to report these results and share with the scientific community. We also discussed the possibility of taking this Practice On Line, possibly through SUS structures, to more people, especially the elderly, aiming to bring greater well-being and more longevity with quality of life.
