Abstract
Sedentariness is an increasingly frequent phenomenon among adults. The prolonged lack of physical exercise leads to a decrease in the body's functional capacity and in the quality of life. Qigong is an adaptable and comprehensive form of physical exercise borrowed from Chinese culture. The paper explores the effects of practicing Qigong gymnastics by a group of sedentary adults over a 3 month period. The experimental group (33 subjects) practiced Qigong, while the control group (20 subjects) practiced body-building. Weight, body-mass index, the static balance Stork test and the Ruffier index were all evaluated.
