Because of its obvious medical rehabilitation, Wuqinxi has been used in the physical education for more than 1.2 million people in at least 24 Chinese Medicine university campuses in China for many years. This investigation aimed to evaluate whether Wuqinxi has the positive effect on physical improvements for female college students.MethodsInfrared scanners were used for real-time monitoring of body calorie dynamics; the electromyography (EMG) was used to detect the iEMG on biceps, brachioradialis, quadriceps, and gastrocnemius; beside, the physical health elements, heart rate and cardiopulmonary function were also taken within the scope of our investigation and records.ResultsWuqinxi exercise can improve the body function through making the abdominal muscles, back muscles and limbs strength exercise more effectively; Wuqinxi exercise had also made the athletes better control their muscles to have a good way to contraction and keeping balance; Moreover, the performances of speed of 800 m run, setting flexion, set-ups and grip strength had a comprehensive promotion for each of the participants including long-time practitioners and short-term practitioners.ConclusionsTherefore, the new gymnastics derived from ancient Chinese Wuqinxi exercise can improve the physical health of female college students so that it can be used as part of the development of higher education's health quality in the future.
