Engaging in multi-joint movements through practices like Tai Chi or Qigong can foster neural maturation and enhance movement efficiency. These practices may contribute to a healthier body weight trajectory by promoting balanced and coordinated movements.

Tai Chi and Qigong involve controlled movements and changes in body position, making them valuable interventions for improving balance and coordination in young children. While balance is not always a direct outcome measure in youth populations, it plays a crucial role in developing foundational motor skills necessary for complex movements.

Improving body awareness, motor control, and proprioception through these practices can lead to increased physical activity levels and a reduced risk of obesity and depression, as these skills are closely linked to overall motor proficiency and well-being.
