The Central Sydney Tai Chi Trial
Content 1
Summary
The Central Sydney Tai Chi Trial was a randomised control trial investigating the effectiveness of an
introductory tai chi program in reducing the risk of falling among community-dwelling people aged 60
years or over. The results
showed that a relatively simple community-based program of introductory tai chi,
consisting of a one-hour class per week, reduced the risk of falling by 35 percent in the study
population. The
trial
was funded under the NSW Health Promotion Demonstration Research Grants Scheme.
