| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study revealed that subjective well-being on a practitioner of Tai Chi exercise (TC) was higher than general citizen, and the daily practice (more than 2 days/week) was contributing to its. Practice of TC caused changes in a cerebral cortex activities and activation of serotonergic neuron, and evoked the improvement of feeling. In senior practitioner of TC, these tendency also were seen.
These results suggest the possibility that prolonged practice of TC contributes to improvement of QOL (quality of life) in senior citizen, via activation of cerebral cortex and elevation of subjective well- being.
