Özet:
Workplace stress is a growing epidemic, particularly in the Western world. While workplace stress continues to plague employees, employers are seeking alternative practices from weight training and cardiovascular exercises to address the problem. Although countless alternative practices exist, few are supported by empirical research. One system that could be easily practiced in a workplace setting is the Dayan System of Qigong; however, until now, no studies have been conducted to test the effects of Dayan Qigong. This study examined three beginner practitioners of Dayan Qigong and had them perform an exercise known as the 1st 64 Action Form. Electroencephalograph (EEG) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) readings were taken immediately before and after performing the exercise. The participants also completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after the exercise. Consistent with hypotheses, all three subjects demonstrated greater parasympathetic activity across the exercise as indicated by EEG scores. Additionally, two subjects showed greater parasympathetic activity (i.e. less stress) on the HRV and the STAI measures. Although future research is still necessary, this study presents an auspicious start toward proving the psychophysiological effects of Dayan Qigong. If proven effective, these practices can be leveraged in a workplace environment as part of organizational wellness programs. This can lead to fewer sick days taken by employees, greater productivity, and an increase in overall business revenue.
