Have you applied to participate in the Tai Chi \ Qigong Study?

2 Replies

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 Qi Gong 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.

Hi I'm a 72 year old male with paroxysmal AF and T2 diabetes and high BP, otherwise fit and healthy! I first learned Tai Chi over 20 years ago and am currently running a beginners class with my local U3A. I could be interested in participating in the study. Let me know if you think I could help.
