“…Based on the distance to zero, determine whether a collision has occurred. However, the biggest feature of GJK algorithm is that the input set of vertex will not be any direct operation calculation, but by calculating the Minkowski distance between two objects, thus calculating the distance between two convex problems into solving a convex set to the origin of the minimum distance problem [21].…”

With the advent of the era of big data, the development of Internet technology has provided more platforms for the development of traditional culture and expanded the scope of influence of traditional culture. In the development process of Tai Chi, how to give full play to the advantages of information technology, enhance the influence of Tai Chi, and promote the dissemination and inheritance of the Chinese traditional sports culture are the problems that need to be solved at present. This paper took the population of Tai Chi practicing in X community as the investigation object and analyzed the current inheritance and development status of Tai Chi, found out the main problems in the inheritance and development of Tai Chi, and finally put forward the path of using VR technology in information technology for spread. In addition, the satisfaction of residents with the transmission and inheritance of Tai Chi was measured at the policy, economic, social, and technical levels and compared with the satisfaction of residents before and after the application of VR technology through experiments. The results showed that after the use of VR technology, residents were more involved in Tai Chi and had better satisfaction at all levels.

“…The study results confirmed H2, which indicates a significant mediating effect of social participation between tai chi, ba duan jin, walking, and the mental health status of urban older adults living alone. Tai chi interventions among older adults have been shown to increase social support and promote social participation ( 68 ), while higher levels of social participation are linked to lower levels of psychological disorders ( 69 ). In other words, social participation improves mental health, and engaging in social activities can consistently contribute to an individual’s well-being in later life ( 70 ).…”

With the global trend of aging, lacking of interpersonal communication and spiritual support and companionship have had a great impact on the mental health of older people living alone. This study examines the multifaceted impacts of engaging in tai chi, ba duan jin, and walking on the mental wellbeing of older people residing alone in urban areas. Additionally, this research aims to explore the association between tai chi, ba duan jin, and walking, and the mental health status of urban older people living alone, by considering the mediating influence of social participation and the moderating influence of the exercise environment. To do so, 1,027 older people living alone in six Chinese cities were investigated using the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), the Geriatric Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Social Participation Indicator System Scale, and the Exercise Environment Scale. SPSS 25.0 was utilized for conducting mathematical statistical analysis, specifically for doing linear regression analysis. Additionally, AMOS was employed to develop the study model. We found that a significant negative correlation between tai chi, ba duan jin, and walking and mental health status; among these, tai chi had the greatest impact on the mental health status of urban older people living alone. Social participation mediated the relationship between tai chi, ba duan jin, walking, and mental health status, and the exercise environment had a moderating effect on this relationship. The findings of this study indicate that tai chi, ba duan jin, and walking have a positive impact on the mental health of urban older people living alone, which can be influenced by the mediating efficacy of social participation and the moderating effect of the exercise environment.

“…Tai Chi contributes to improved aerobic capacity, positively impacts cardiovascular risk factors, and lowers blood pressure 14 . Moreover, its versatility allows it to be practiced individually or in group settings, making it accessible to individuals with busy lifestyles and fostering social engagement 15 . Furthermore, Tai Chi requires no special equipment and can be enjoyed by virtually anyone, anywhere 16 .…”

Tai Chi serves as an effective exercise modality for enhancing autonomic regulation. However, a majority of existing studies have employed the single routine (SR) protocol as the basis for health interventions. The extent to which the gong routine application (GRA) protocol achieves similar levels of exercise load stimulation as traditional single practice routines remains uncertain. Therefore, this study the distinct characteristics of autonomic load stimulation in these different protocols, thus providing a biological foundation to support the development of Tai Chi health promotion intervention programs. we recruited a cohort of forty-five university students to participate in the 15 min GRA protocol and SR protocol. We collected heart rate and heart rate variability indicators during periods of rest, GRA protocol, and SR protocol utilizing the Polar Scale. Additionally, we assessed the mental state of the participants using the BFS State of Mind Scale. In summary, the autonomic load is lower in the GRA protocol compared to the SR protocol, with lower sympathetic activity but higher parasympathetic activity in the former. Results are specific to college students, additional research is necessary to extend support for frail older adults. It is advised to incorporate GRA protocol alongside SR protocol in Tai Chi instruction. This approach is likely to enhance Tai Chi skills and yield greater health benefits.
