The Gender Difference of Ryodoraku Bio-energy Response of Qigong Regimen Exercise in Adults
氣功養生運動者之良導絡生物能量的性別差異
摘要
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the Ryodoraku Bio-energy Response of Qigong Regimen Exercise in Adults. Methods: There were 70 subjects particicipated in this research and combine 25 males and 45 females. They have the following demographics: age 60.56 ± 10.23 years, height of 160.60 ± 5.26 cm, weight of 62.91 ± 7.76 kg, and BMI of 24.35 ± 2.40. The subjects had pedometers and took an average of 6407 steps per week. They were subsequently divided into three groups: long-term group (LT), 3 month experiment group (3-M), and the control group. Measurement of each subject is performed in the pre and post time period using the Ryodoraku Detector of Channel and Acupuncture Points. This device can assess the health of the Zang Fu organs based on a theory first purposed by Yoshio Nakatani. Measurements of this device are performed while the subject is in a sitting position. The SPSS 12.0, Excel 2000 for Windows statistic analysis, ANOVA, a dependent and independent t-test are then conducted to identify the effects. The significance is set at α=.05. Results: First, the pre mean bio-energy measure showed that the LT group was greater than the CTL group which was higher than the 3-M group (p＜.05); in the post, whereas the LT group's bio-energy values were significantly lower than 3-M and CTL in male group. Secondly, the pre mean bio-energy measure showed that the LT group was greater than the CTL and 3-M group (p＜.05), in the post, whereas the LT group's bio-energy values were significantly lower than 3-M and CTL in female group. Male also had a significantly higher bio-energy measure than females. Conclusion: This research reveals that no matter what in the pre or post test, the Ryodoraku bio-energy of the males are higher than females among the groups.
