An Evaluation of the Standing Posture Qigong Using Pulse Delay Time

Abstract

We considered whether the qigong acquisition degree could be evaluated by measuring the change of pulse delay time which tends to decrease during the practice of qigong. The standing posture qigong which is without movement was used. The subject was someone whom we had measured and analyzed data from for more than four times at about half year intervals. In this way we could correct for personal unevenness. We found that to some extent the acquisition degree could be evaluated by values obtained from pulse delay time and R-R interval.
