EVALUATION OF TAl CHI CHUAN (TCC) TRAINING EFFECTS ON MUSCULOSKELTAL SYSTEM IN HEALTHY YOUNG SUBJECTS

Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) can be defined as a series of graceful movements that are made for a spiritual, mental and physical health. The purpose of our <. udy was to evaluate the effects of 37 TCC movements as exercise training on balance, kinesthetic sense and flexibility in sedentary university students, 23 students as TCC group aged 20 ± 2,76 (16 female, 9 male). and 14 students as a control group aged 20,02 ± 3,07 (9 female. 5 male) were participated in and practiced 8 weeks (3 days a week) TCC exercise program.
