AF Association Tai Chi / Qigong Study

We have been approached by the Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science to recruit candidates to join a study aimed at developing a suitable set of Tai Chi and Qi Gong exercises appropriate for people with atrial fibrillation. You will be required to take part in a 12-week online intervention of Tai Chi and QiGong exercises for the research into the benefits of appropriate exercise for individuals with atrial fibrillation. If you are interested? Do you have AF? Are you over 18 and based in the UK? Could you follow an online exercise regime via zoom and do not have any other underlying health conditions that could impact on your ability to exercise.

For further details on how you can help . Please contact our Patient Services Team at your earliest convenience : Subject: Tai Chi \ Qigong Study [e-mail]

I wish I could join! We do Tai Chi/Qigong every Wednesday; it certainly helps to relax the anxiety that accompanies Afib. Plus the socializing that goes along with it … but it all depends on having a great teacher!
