Effects of 16-week tai chi practice on sit-to-stand performance and lower-limb neuromuscular control strategies in community-dwelling older adults: a randomized controlled trial
This study demonstrated that aging is associated with declines in physical activity, reaction capacity, and STS ability in older adults. Tai Chi improves STS performance through greater neuromuscular efficiency and reduced postural sway, providing a mechanistic rationale for its integration into fall-prevention programs for older adults.
