Baduanjin is a low-intensity mind-body Qigong exercise that encompasses eight simple movements involving combinations of postures, meditation, slow relaxing movements, and breathing exercises. Given the simplicity and low intensity level, the exercise programme is ideal for older adults.
This Baduanjin exercise programme is part of a research study led by Geriatric Education and Research Institute in collaboration with Tsao Foundation. The study aimed to examine the effectiveness and implementation of a 16-week community-based Baduanjin exercise programme among pre-frail and frail older adults in Singapore.
