Abstract
    [Objective] The study aims at exploring the effect of Baduanjin on weight loss of obese male college students.[Methods] The 68 obese male college students from Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) were selected as the research objects and were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group received eight weeks of Baduanjin intervention, while the control group did not have any regular exercise intervention. The data of the subjects' weight, BMI index, body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference and thigh circumference of before and after Baduanjin intervention was observed and analyzed with SPSS.[Results] The data before and after the experiment shows that there was no significant difference in any index in the control group while there were significant differences in all indexes except thigh circumference in the experimental group. After the experiment, compared with the control group, the average of BMI index, body fat percentage, waist circumference and hip circumference of the experimental group all decreased to a certain extent, showing significant differences;the average weight decreased obviously, showing a remarkably significant difference;the average leg circumference decreased little, showing no significant difference.[Conclusion] The TCM exercise Baduanjin has a significant effect on improving the body composition and body circumference of obese male college students, and has a positive effect on weight loss and body shape optimization.
