While this study confirmed the benefits of Tai Chi training, there are several limitations that should be considered. First, the study did not evaluate the impact of Tai Chi on mental health factors, such as anxiety and depression. Second, because the study only included overweight male students, it is unclear whether the findings can be extrapolated to normal or obese populations or to females. As such, future research should investigate the effects of these Tai Chi programs on mental health and examine a more diverse population. Moreover, longer training periods and further additions to the research are needed to fully comprehend the different effects of the two Tai Chi programs on overweight and obese college students.
