The impact of reverse abdominal breathing on lower limb muscle strength and muscle synergy characteristics in Tai Chi Chuan

Reverse abdominal breathing in Tai Chi Chuan enhances muscle activation and synergy, which facilitates increased recruitment of lower limb muscles and optimize joint strategies, thereby improving the stability and coordination of posture control. Reverse abdominal breathing optimized the activation pattern of lower limb muscles, playing an important role in enhancing stability and coordination in individuals with over 5 years of Tai Chi Chuan experience, particularly in the contexts of physical fitness and sports rehabilitation.
