Objective To study the impact of the tai chi chuan on the upper respiratory tract infection and the immunoglobulin contents.Method 90 female students were separated into 3 groups

control group（C）

three times a week movement group（3T） and five times a week movement group（5T）.After a six-month tai chi training

the upper respiratory tract infection were investigated with questionare

and the immunoglobulin content was measured.Results Before and after the training

per capita number of upper respiratory tract infection had no difference for 3 groups（p>0.05）.But for 3T

5T group

the duration of the upper respiratory tract infection became shorter（p<0.05）.For the 3T

5T group

IgA

IgG became higher

for the C group IgM reduced（p<0.05）.Between 3T group and 5T group

the differences of all the data above were not statistically significant（p>0.05）.Conclusion The appropriate tai chi chuan can shorten the duration of the upper respiratory tract infection

which may be related to IgA

IgG elevated.
