Eleven healthy adults who practised He Xiang Zhuang Gongfu (HGF) were followed for 6 months; 15 pulmonary function tests were determined before HGF practice, 2 months and 6 months after HGF practice. All 11 subjects took the HGF exercise every day for 30 minutes. Samplings were taken before subjects had ever practised HGF as control value, immediately and 30 minutes after HGF exercise. In the 2nd month and 6th month of HGF practice. The results indicated that VO2 decreased after 2 and 6 months HGF practice, and the effect even persisted to 30 minutes after HGF exercise, indicating that HGF may reduce metabolic rate and decrease the oxygen consumption of body. The possible mechanism was discussed. MVV had an up tendency after HGF practice, which suggested the possibility of strengthening respiratory muscle by HGF. HGF may be a good physical exercise and can induce a wakeful hypometabolic physiologic state.
