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 AF.

If you have AF. aged over 18 and based in the UK, then we want to hear from you! You will be required to follow an online exercise regime via zoom, therefore you should not have any other underlying health conditions that could impact on your ability to exercise.

For further details on how you can help. Please email our Patient Services Team at your earliest convenience.: [e-mail] \ [e-mail]

I’m hoping to rejoin as enjoyed it. Gentle exercise is what I really need and this fits the bill.

As one who has been doing TaiChi and Qigong for years, I highly recommend folks join up for this. I’m not in the UK or I’d be first in line!

I would love to join the group I have no conditions that stop me exercising

I have done Tai chi and yoga like them but it seems to me AF is not the restricter, but arthritis is. Chronic arthritis as I have in my knees and ankle mean all leg balance and strenghtening is v difficult. I can't see AF been any problem so I think this study is probabaly pointless and it would be nice to know with all these research projects into movement and pain that someone had the sense to look at arthritis, because it appears the medical profession aren't interested, it is not an easy win and the charities are pretty useless.
