Interventions
BEHAVIORALHealth Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises
All participants received a six-month intervention consisting of two phases: the first month was a movement learning and consolidation phase of 45 minutes per session, once a day; the second five months were a formal practice phase of 45 minutes per session, once a day. In the first phase, participants learn four new movements per session and consolidate these exercises in the next session. After learning all the movements, the remaining time of the first phase was used to consolidate the exercises. In the second phase, participants perform a full Health Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises practice in each session.
BEHAVIORALLocked exercise
All participants received a six-month intervention of 45 minutes once a day. All participants performed blocked aerobic exercise.
BEHAVIORALMultiplayer open exercise
All participants received a six-month intervention in the form of a balloon game competition. The intervention consisted of two phases: the first month consisted of a movement learning and consolidation phase of 45 minutes per session, once a day; the second five months consisted of a formal competition phase of 45 minutes per session, once a day. In the first phase, coaches taught participants the technical movements and rules. In the second phase, participants competed in groups during each session, with the coaches acting as referees.
BEHAVIORALHealth Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises combined with locked exercise
All participants received the intervention for six months, 45 minutes each time, once a day. All participants performed blocked exercise followed by Health Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises. The schedule was consistent with the Health Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises group and the Blocked Exercise group.
BEHAVIORALHealth Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises combined with open exercise
All participants received the intervention for six months, 45 minutes each time, once a day. All participants performed multiplayer Open Exercise followed by Health Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises exercises. The schedule was consistent with the Health Qigong - 12-Step Daoyin Health Preservation Exercises group and the Multiplayer Open Exercise group.

| Using a Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer to investigate change of handgrip in participants. | Month 6 | Participants will receive a handgrip strength test before and after the intervention to assess the change from baseline handgrip strength at 6 months. |
| Using a step test to test participants' aerobic endurance. | Month 6 | Participants will undergo an aerobic endurance test before and after the intervention to assess the change in aerobic endurance from baseline at 6 months. |
| Using a spirometry tester to investigate changes in pulmonary capacity of the participants. | Month 6 | Participants will receive a spirometry test (vital capacity, ml) before and after the intervention to assess the change in spirometry from baseline at 6 months. |
| The participants' flexibility was tested by seated forward bending. | Month 6 | Participants will receive a seated forward bend test before and after the intervention to assess changes in flexibility from baseline at 6 months. |
| The participants reaction abilities were tested by means of a reaction time tester. | Month 6 | Participants will receive a response time test before and after the intervention to assess the change in responsiveness from baseline at 6 months. |
| The balance ability of the participants was tested through a one-legged standing test. | Month 6 | Participants will receive a one-legged standing test before and after the intervention to assess the change in balance from baseline at 6 months. |
| The core strength of the participants was tested through a sit-up test. | Month 6 | Participants will undergo a sit-up test before and after the intervention to assess changes in core strength from baseline at 6 months. |
