Purpose
Tai Chi exercise, an ancient Chinese martial art, has drawn more and more attention for its health benefits. The purpose of the study was to identify the effects of a Sun-style Tai Chi exercise on arthritic symptoms (joint pain and stiffness), motivation for performing health behaviors, and the performance of health behaviors among older women with osteoarthritis.Methods Total of 72 women with the mean age of 63 years old were recruited from outpatients clinic or public health centers according to the inclusion criteria and assigned randomly to either the Tai Chi exercise group or the control. A Sun-style Tai Chi exercise has been provided three times a week for the first two weeks, and then once a week for another 10 weeks. In 12 weeks of study period, 22 subjects in the Tai Chi exercise group and 21 subjects in the control group completed the posttest measure with the dropout rate of 41%. Outcome variables included arthritic symptoms measured by K-WOMAC, motivation for health behavior, and health behaviors.Results At the completion of the 12 week Tai Chi exercise, the Tai Chi group perceived significantly less joint pain (t=-2.19, p=0.03) and stiffness (t=-2.24, p=0.03), perceived more health benefits (t=2.67, p=0.01), and performed better health behaviors (t=2.35, p=0.02), specifically for diet behavior (t=2.06, p=0.04) and stress management (t=2.97, p=0.005).Conclusion A Sun-style Tai Chi exercise was found as beneficial for women with osteoarthritis to reduce their perceived arthritic symptoms, improve their perception of health benefits to perform better health behaviors.

										 Abstract  PDF
PURPOSE: The exercise status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, associations between 
exercise behavior and personal factors, and associations between exercise behavior and 
exercise-specific cognitions and their effects were assessed. METHOD: Four hundred thirty 
nine outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis were studied. The exercise status was 
measured by a single item. The intensity was multiplied by the frequency and duration 
of each exercise. The product of these intensity values for all exercises was defined as 
exercise behavior. Based on the Pender's revised health promotion model, exercise 
benefit, barrier, self-efficacy, enjoyment and social support were chosen as exercise 
specific cognitions and affect variables. Path analysis was used to identify the predictors 
of exercise behavior. Results: Compared to the duration before being diagnosed, the 
number of subjects who exercised regularly increased after being diagnosed. However 
over half of the subjects refrain from any sort of exercise and the type of exercise is 
very limited. Among the variables, exercise barrier, self-efficacy, and social support 
were found to be significant predictors of exercise behavior, and only
 previous exercise experience was found to be significant predictors of all behavior 
specific cognitions and affect variables. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that studies 
should explore exercise behaviors and strategies to emphasize the cognitive-motivational 
messages to promote exercise behaviors.
