气功之谜它到底有哪些健康功效

气功的理论基础在中医学，与更为知名的“太极”关系密切。与太极不同的是，气功并不以武术为基础。相反，波士顿麻省总医院(Massachusetts General Hospital)本森-亨利身心医学研究所(Benson—Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine)教授气功课程的Stanwood Chang说，气功运用的是一系列舒缓的动作。他还补充说，因为动作简单，多有重复，气功比太极更适合多数人修习，太极套路很长，需要记忆。

Traditionally, qigong is described as a practice that cultivates 'qi, ' or life energy. Qi can't be measured objectively, says Shin Lin, a professor of cell biology at the University of California, Irvine. But his studies of qigong and tai chi practitioners have found a boost in both alpha brain waves, suggesting relaxation, and beta waves, indicating strong focus. 'It has the dual benefit of relaxing you, but also sharpening your mind, ' says Dr. Lin.

从传统上来说，气功是一种聚“气”（或曰生命的能量）的功法。加州大学欧文分校(University of California, Irvine)的细胞生物学教授林欣说，气无法客观地观测到。但他通过对气功和太极修习者进行研究发现，气功不但能提振脑α波（表明放松），还能提振脑β波（表明专注）。林欣说，它有双重功效，既能让你放松，还能增强脑力。

Some studies have found improvement in balance from qigong. At least one cites the fact that participants are taught to take a wider, more stable stance when standing.
