Abstract
Tai-chi exercise This is an undemanding but effective type of exercise for older people aimed at improving movement coordination, increasing functional capacity and global well-being. It also helps prevent traumas, especially falls, because it leads to awareness of the body and its parts, as well as positions in which the body is situated.
