(2) In body health index and blood pressure test items, Tai Chi group in are better than the comparative group. (3) In the cardiopulmonary test, if we devide into male or female group, then the Tai Chi control group is better than the comparative group, otherwise there is no difference between them in the total average number of cardiopulmonary.
