Abstract

Background: Vagal withdrawal and sympathetic overactivity are accompanied by various kind of stress. A large amount of evidence suggests that Qi training reduces the sympathetic hyper-reactivity in a stressful situation. TuRo, which is a kind of dance applying the meridian Qi system, may have effects on reducing the psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, hostility and sleeping disorders that are induced by the imbalance of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Aims: Aims of this study were to observe whether the TuRo training changes of the psychopathological and psychosomatic symptom using Symptom Check List-90-Revision (SCL-90-R) and to examine whether the TuRo training attenuates the stress response to a mental stress in healthy adolescent female using power spectrum analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: TuRo group had been trained TuRo training for two months and control group had been trained mimicked movements without the concept of Qi flow through the meridian as a control for a same period. SCL-90-R was compared before and after 2 months training period. After the training period, mental stress test, consists of 5 minutes of the Stroop-colorword test and mental arithmetic test, was performed. Heart rate (HR) and total power (TP) and LF/HF ratio of HRV were compared between TuRo and control groups during and after the mental stress. Results: The somatization and hostility subscales of the SCL-90-R of the TuRo group were significantly lower than the control group. The increments of the HR and LF/HF ratio of HRV induced by the stress test were significantly smaller in the TuRo group compared to the control group. TP of the TuRo group was significantly higher than the control group. Conclusion: The psychosomatic symptom and the sympathetic activation induced by an artificial stress were significantly inhibited by the TuRo training. This finding suggests that TuRo training may have therapeutic effects on the psychosomatic and stress-related disorders. The underlying mechanism and potential applications warrant further investigations.
