Abstract

Baduanjin is regarded as a model of China traditional daoyin, and its application value in the field of sports rehabilitation has been paid more and more attention. This paper aims to systematically explore the specific application of Baduanjin in exercise rehabilitation and its conditioning mechanism based on meridian theory. Firstly, the core concept of Baduanjin and its theoretical basis such as holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine and Yin-Yang Five Elements Theory were sorted out, and the interdisciplinary explanation was provided by combining modern sports science theory. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the application mode and effect of Baduanjin in the rehabilitation of chronic musculoskeletal diseases, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and nervous system diseases, and points out that it has comprehensive advantages in improving physical function, relieving pain, enhancing balance ability and promoting mental health through low-intensity physical and mental coordination training. Baduanjin dredges the circulation of qi and blood in meridians and indirectly regulates the functions of related zang-fu organs through specific movement design. Meanwhile, from the perspective of modern exercise physiology, its mechanism of action is closely related to physiological processes such as improving circulation, regulating autonomic nerve balance and enhancing neuromuscular control. This study provides a theoretical reference and practical path for the scientific and standardized application of Baduanjin in the field of exercise rehabilitation.
