Mean (95% confidence interval) for selected HRV indices at rest before (pre), and after 21 weeks of training (post) in the endurance, strength, combined strength and endurance training, and control group.
<p>HR, heart rate; SDNN, standard deviation of NN intervals; HFP, high frequency power; LFP low frequency power; LFP/HFP, ratio between LFP and HFP; CI<sub>1–5</sub>, complexity index of multiscale entropy analysis over the scales of 1 to 5. Statistically significant changes were not observed.</p
Individual and the mean changes in the HR complexity index.
<p>The index for the scales 1 to 2 (CI<sub>1–2</sub>) was measured during steady state exercise at baseline (pre) and after 21 weeks in the endurance training (E), combined strength and endurance training (SE), strength training (S) and the control (C) group. **significant change (P<0.01) compared to the baseline.</p

Associations between changes in both complexity-based (A, B) and traditional measures (C, D) of sway vs. Tai Chi dosage (total hours practiced) among Tai Chi naïve individuals exposed to six months of training.
<p>Percent changes in sway were assessed between the baseline and 6 month follow up visit for the anterioposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) planes and during eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC) conditions. Analyses excluding the largest x-axis value (i.e. potential outlier) reduced ΔAP EC p-value to a non-significant level (p = 0.423), however, the p-value for the ΔML EC was less affected (p = 0.037).</p
Details of the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and MSE scales used for the long-term Tai-Chi comparison between Naïve and Expert groups.
<p>The last three columns show the statistical comparison between the Young and Naive at baseline which led to the selection of these IMFs.</p>a<p>values provided are mean ± standard deviation with units of complexity index divided by MSE scale range, C<sub>I</sub>/R(τ).</p><p>Details of the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and MSE scales used for the long-term Tai-Chi comparison between Naïve and Expert groups.</p
Associations between changes in physical function and Tai Chi dosage (total hours practiced) among Tai Chi naïve individuals exposed to six months of training.
<p>Percent changes in function were assessed between the baseline and 6 month follow-up visit for single leg stance time (SLST) and timed up and go (TUG) parameters. Analyses excluding the largest x-axis value (i.e. potential outlier) reduced ΔSLST to a non-significant level (p = 0.286), however, the p-value for the ΔTUG was less affected (p = 0.0062).</p
