ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the effect of Mawangdui Daoyin exercise on aging-related hormones in elderly women. Methods: Twenty healthy women aged 60-70 years old who voluntarily participated in Mawangdui Daoyin exercise were recruited as experimental subjects, and they were divided into exercise group (n=10) and control group (n=10). Three aging-related hormones, growth hormone (GH), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-s) and estrogen (Estrogen), were measured before exercise, 6 weeks and 12 weeks after Mawangdui Daoyin surgery. Results: 1) The change of growth hormone, compared with before exercise, showed significant difference after 6 weeks of exercise; compared with 6 weeks of exercise, there was no significant difference after 12 weeks of exercise; 2) The change of DHEA-s, with Compared with before exercise, there is a significant difference after 6 weeks of exercise; compared with after 6 weeks of exercise, there is a significant difference after 12 weeks of exercise; 3) Compared with before exercise, there is no significant difference in Estrogens after exercise for 6 weeks Differences; significant difference after 12 weeks of exercise compared to 6 weeks of exercise. Conclusion: 12-week Mawangdui Daoyin exercise can positively affect aging-related hormones such as growth hormone (GH), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-s) and estrogen (Estrogen) in elderly women.
