OBESE, CHRONIC DISEASES
The present study determined that the BW-TC and TH-TC exercise forms of Tai Chi can both effectively improve the body composition and lower the blood lipids of overweight students, with neither showing superiority over the other. Accordingly, both Tai Chi programs can serve as viable exercise alternatives to mitigate the risk of chronic diseases among overweight and obese college students.
