Results: Twelve articles published in Korean Journals from 2000 to 2017 were reviewed. Among the re-trieved papers, eight were applied with breathing exercises, including Dan-jeon breathing training, one applied with brain breathing meditation with DoIn exercise, one applied with qigong meditation, one applied with qi-training, and one applied with brain breathing training. RoBANS was used for assessment. The quality of selected articles was generally low. 10 of the 12 articles on qigong reported that experimental group showed statistically significant increase of performance enhancement both directly and indirectly.
Conclusions: Reviewing 12 articles, this study established that qigong interventions might be benefi-cial for enhancing performance especially in sports. However, more scientifically designed study on qi-gong therapy are needed to prove the efficacy and effectiveness.
