    Research Updates: Fifth World Medical Qigong Symposium (Beijing, June 26-28, 2006)

    • Physiological Effects of Respiration Method of Inner Qigong: Research conducted in Japan exploring the effects of Qigong's "Three Adjustments" (Posture, Respiration, Mental Activities), focusing on respiration.
      • Standing Posture Qigong: Increased respiration rate and abdominal pressure; changes in carbon dioxide density; influence on electrocardiogram's R-point; increased sympathetic nerve activity; increased blood flow to the neck artery and glabella; decreased blood oxygen density.
      • Six-Word-Practice: Heartbeat increase during sound production; increased blood flow during sound production, varying with the specific sound; increased blood pressure (but with shorter duration than Standing Posture Qigong); decreased oxygen density in end blood vessels, correlating with respiration cycle changes.
      • Nei-Yang Gong: Two respiration methods (soft and hard). Soft respiration potentially decreases blood pressure; hard respiration potentially increases blood pressure, impacting inner body temperature and sympathetic nerve activity. Significant variations were found in blood pressure, heart rate, and nasal respiration temperature.
