First of all, let's learn about the technical characteristics of Taiji softball. From goal to ball, it is a continuous, natural, smooth and one-stop arc induction process, which changes the traditional hard hitting method. First of all, it is required to actively reach the ball along the direction and line of the incoming ball, so that the ball can be quietly integrated into the racket from the frame of the racket. After the ball enters the racket, the legs are supported by two feet. Through the distribution and combination of waist, body and arms, as well as the racket held by the arm and the ball in the racket, it rotates around the horizontal axis, vertical axis and vector axis of the body. During the rotation of the ball, a strong centrifugal force is generated in the racket, and then the ball is thrown out of the racket along the tangent direction of the arc under the inertia of this centrifugal force.
Therefore, a full-body exercise, Tai Chi soft ball can make the neck, shoulders, waist and legs of the practitioners get balanced and comprehensive exercise. Especially because the change of circular motion is complex and random, it has a good effect on training the function of central nervous system and developing multi-directional thinking. Correct arc induction requires that the shoulder should be the axis, and the shoulder, elbow and wrist should be kept arc-shaped, so that the whole upper limb is not nervous, which is helpful for venous blood return and heart safety.
Taiji softball is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Because when people enter old age, their bones and muscles will decline to varying degrees, so it is difficult to do other sports. Softball is a combination of rigidity and softness, and there is no high-intensity confrontation exercise. General play 10 minutes, body fever, slight sweat; After playing for 30 minutes, the exerciser's pulse can reach about 20 times in 10 second, and the blood circulation is accelerated, so he generally does not feel uncomfortable, so it is especially recommended for middle-aged and elderly people to practice at ordinary times.
Conclusion: Unlike Taiji Sword and Tai Ji Chuan, Taiji Softball is not affected by climate factors and venue restrictions. Usually, we can play on our balcony or roof or even in the corridor, especially for elderly friends with mobility difficulties. In addition, Taiji Softball is easy to learn and has a remarkable effect. Once it is implemented, it is deeply loved by the majority of elderly friends. In recent years, it has gradually become the most common exercise for the elderly.
