Although Qi-training is known to exert a positive effect on stabilizing cardiovascular and pulmonary functions, its effect on other components of the blood gases have been less studied. In this study, we investigated the changes of the venous blood gas concentrations and pH during pre-, mid- and post-time of ChunDoSunBup (CDSB) Qi-trainihg. Twelve normal healthy CDSB Qi-trainees volunteered to participated in this study. The venous blood concentrations of PCO_2 and PO_2 were significantly changed by Qi-training [PO_2: F(4,40)=7.38, p<0.01, PCO_2: F(4,40)=7.67,p<0.01]. The mean value of PO_2, increased during CDSB Qi-training by 1.13kPa (about 35.6 %) compared to the pre-training (t=-10min). Also, there were significant differences at t=40min(p<0.01) and t=60min (p<0.05). During Qi-training. the mean decrease of PCO_2 was 0.8kPa (about 10%), significantly different from pre-training at t=40min (p<0.01) and t=60min (p<0.01). The increases in PO_2 and pH and the decrease in PCO_2 were observed in venous blood. From these results, it is suggested that the practical application of CDSB Qi-training may exert a positive regulatory function on the physiological status.
