Background:Cognitive decline amongst older adults is a significant public health concern. There is growing interest in behavioral interventions, including exercise, for improving cognition. Studies to date suggest tai chi (TC) may be a safe and potentially effective exercise for preserving cognitive function with aging; however, its short-term and potential long-term impact on physically active, healthy adults is unclear.Objective:To compare differences in cognitive function among long-term TC expert practitioners and age-matched and gender-matched TC-naïve adults and to determine the effects of short-term TC training on measures of cognitive function in healthy, nonsedentary adults.Design:A hybrid design including an observational comparison and a 2-arm randomized clinical trial (RCT)Participants:Healthy, nonsedentary, TC-naive adults (50 y-79 y) and age-matched and gender-matched long-term TC expertsMethods:A cross-sectional comparison of cognitive function in healthy TC-naïve (n=60) and TC expert (24.5...
