A total of 170 eligible participants were randomly allocated to Tai Chi or control group. The cerebral hemodynamic parameters and physical fitness risk factors of cardiovascular disease were measured at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. After the 12-week intervention, Tai Chi significantly improved the minimum of blood flow velocity (BFV<jats:sub>min<\/jats:sub>); BFV<jats:sub>mean<\/jats:sub>; pulsatility index and resistance index of the right anterior cerebral artery; and BFV<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>, BFV<jats:sub>min<\/jats:sub>, and BFV<jats:sub>mean<\/jats:sub> parameters of the right middle cerebral artery. Tai Chi training also decreased triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, and homocysteine levels, and improved balance ability. Therefore, the supervised 12-week Tai Chi exercise had potential beneficial effects on cerebral hemodynamics, plasma risk factors, and balance ability in older community adults at risk of ischemic stroke.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/japa.2018-0232","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,12]],"date-time":"2019-02-12T15:14:09Z","timestamp":1549984449000},"page":"678-687","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Effects
