Abstract

Thirty-two female college students with simple obesity were selected via tests, questionnaires and interviews and randomly divided into the experimental group (4 times a week, 90 minutes each time) and control group (daily walking, sitting and lying without extra exercise). Meanwhile, the sleep and diet of the two groups were monitored, which was kept at the same level as before the experiment. Through the 16-week Baduanjin fitness exercise, 16 indexes, such as body shape, body function and body quality, were compared and analyzed between the two groups before and after the experiment. It was found that the 16-week Baduanjin fitness exercise can promote the physical health of obese female college students, and indicators with significant effects in body shape include BMI, upper chest circumference and waist circumference and physical function such as vital capacity, and physical quality like 50m running, 800m running and sit-ups.
