Abstract
Six volunteers (mean , and ) participated in a graded exercise test and one hour of basic form of ChunDoSunBup (CDSB) Qi-training to investigate the cardiorespiratory responses and exercise intensity of Qi-training, a Korean traditional psychosomatic training. In the maximal exercise, the trainee showed in ventilation (VE), in breath frequency (BF), in respiratory exchange ratio (RER), in heart rate (HR), and or in oxygen consumption . Qi-training induced significant changes in BF, RER, HR, and . The exercise intensity of Qi-training were 42.3%, 46.9% and 38.7% of during the sound exercise, slow motion (haeng-gong) and meditation respectively and the average was 46.2% of . We conclude that Qi-training is an aerobic exercise of a light (mild) intensity exercise, and it leads to decrease the metabolic rate in the trainee by breathing efficiently and relaxing them. In addition, Qi-training may affect cardiorespiratory function of BF, RER, HR and in trainees.
