A study on the brain mechanisms of postural control improvement in obese college students through traditional martial arts Tan Tui practice
A 14-week systematic traditional martial arts Tan Tui training program can significantly enhance cortical excitability, improve functional symmetry between the left and right brain hemispheres, and strengthen the synergy among multiple brain regions in obese college students. Our findings demonstrate that traditional martial arts practice induces measurable neural plasticity and improves postural control and brain function in populations. This study links Tan Tui to modern neurophysiological evidence, offering novel insights into mind-body interventions for brain health in obesity.
