Chi and Golf Tai Chi for Golf is a program of simple exercises and drills to help you improve your balance, maintain your flexibility and suppleness to enhance your golfing ability. Based on an ancient, oriental health form, the exercises will improve your posture, increase your striking power and help you control your mind and your temper, giving you a much more rounded and enjoyable game. Research has shown that many golfers have found that they can drive the ball much farther after practicing T’ai Chi for only a few months. Improving the coordination of the arms, the waist and the legs during movements, relaxing muscles, and improving balance - these are the main reasons for the synergy between Tai Chi and golf. A study published by the journal Medicine and science in sports and exercise in 2004 shows that among elderly subjects, the experienced Tai Chi practitioners and the experienced golfers both have much better joint proprioceptive acuity and dynamic standing balance control than those who do not practice either of these two activities. Building upon such synergy, there have emerged some programs integrating Tai Chi movements into golf practice. The most prominent one among them is probably chi-power GOLF, which is used by the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA). The program was developed by Jayne Storey, a Tai Chi teacher in the U.K. who has been practicing Yang Style Tai Chi since 1987. T'ai Chi, ADHD and ADD ADD and ADHD is a growing problem not only with children, but adults as well. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder of children, afflicting about 35% in the U.S. ADHD, often treated by drugs such as Ritalin, oral antihypertensive or antidepressants, is characterized by inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. However, the medical and educational community have begun to express concern about the sheer numbers of young children being diagnosed as ADHD and administered drug therapy. While these medications can at times be effective if carefully monitored, side effects are possible, and most of these drugs should not be (though sometimes are) given to children under age six because of risk of toxicity or lack of dosage information due to inadequate testing for adverse drug reactions in this population. Twenty percent of ADHD children do not respond to the first stimulant drug tried, or have a negative reaction to it. Touch Research Institute (TRI) examined whether Tai Chi, the Chinese martial art of slow-moving, meditative exercise, would have similar effects . During and after five weeks of tai chi lessons, adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) showed less anxiety, daydreaming, inappropriate emotions and hyperactivity, according to a study by TRI. T’ai Chi may be a wonderful adjunct therapy for treating ADHD because it augments many of the mood management techniques recommended for ADHD sufferers. A University of Miami School of Medicine study shows T’ai Chi is a powerful therapy for ADHD and ADD. The chidren in this study saw a drop of ADD symptons nd an enhanced ability to focus, concentrate, and perform tasks. Adolescents with ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder) displayed less anxiety, daydreaming behaviors, inappropriate emotions and hyperactivity, and greater improved conduct, after a five week, two day per week class. T’ai Chi meets many of the criteria for mood management techniques recommended for ADD . |
