Aims: This study aims at exploring the Responses of Qigong on blood lactate after exhaustion exercise. Methods: The experimentees are randomly grouped into 15 Qigong practitioners and 15 healthy adults without Qigong experience. After the Qigong practitioners are trained for 16 weeks, all experimentees including the controlled group run on the treadmill under the Bruce's MaxVo2 Procedure. All experimentees are drawn bloods 10 minutes before exhaustion exercise as benchmark (There is no obvious difference in the blood lactate between controlled group and experimental group. 2 groups show consistency.), 5 minutes after exercise, and 30 minutes after exercise separately to analyze the blood lactate and compare the data acquired. Between 5 minutes and 30 minutes after exercise, the Qigong group will practice Qigong. Results: 1.There is no obvious difference in the blood lactate(t=-.71, p>.05)between controlled group (15.11±1.29 mmol/l) and experimental group (14.54±2.86 mmol/l) 5 minutes after exhaustion exercise, which shows that 2 groups have similar lactate accumulation after exercise. 2.30 minutes after exhaustion exercise, after the experimental group practices Qigong, there is obvious difference in the blood lactate (t=-2.28, p<.05) between controlled group and experimental group. 3.In-between 5 minutes and 30 minutes after exhaustion exercise, there is obvious difference in the rate of blood lactate removal between controlled group (38.62±11.81%) and experimental group (46.63±8.87%), which shows that the experimental group has better lactate removal than the controlled group. Conclusion: Based on the results, practicing Qigong after exhaustion exercise can effectively lower blood lactate.
