Abstract
Qigong is one Chinese mind-body training method for controlling the body, breath and mind. There are many kinds of Qigong. Hui-Chun-Gong is one, and it has many kinds of training methods. This report describes measurements and analysis of physiological states of image training using Hui-Chun-Gong. The data measured were ECGs(electrocardiograms), BP(blood pressure), RSP(respiration), temperatures on the skin surface, and so on. These data were measured at the same time. Measurements were done at Prerest, during Hui-Chun-Gong and Post-rest. While performing Hui-Chun-Gong, HR(heart rate)increased, R point value of ECG decreased, the value of LF / HF increased, BP increased, pulse pressure increased, the value of t_1 decreased, the pulse wave transit time decreased, and the value of |b / a| of APG(accelerated plethysmograph)decreased. These trends suggested that the sympathetic nervous system was predominate. RSP rate decreased and the amplitude of RSP increased. These trends suggested that a subject's respiration is deep and long.
