About

This study aims to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of traditional exercise interventions on the physical and mental health of individuals with hearing impairments. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 90 participants who will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a Tai Chi intervention group, a Baduanjin intervention group, or a control group. The Tai Chi group will receive a 12-week simplified 24-form Tai Chi training program, while the Baduanjin group will undergo standardized Baduanjin training. The control group will participate in regular school physical education classes. This study seeks to evaluate the potential health benefits and mechanisms of traditional exercise programs within the hearing-impaired population.
