Overview
Brief Summary
This is the randomized trial to explore the effect of behavioral modification program (Tai Chi vs. self management) on adults with metabolic syndrome. The outcome variables include health behavior, metabolic syndrome indicators, quality of life.
Detailed Description
1. venue: the individuals with diagnosis of metabolic syndrome are recruiting from university hospital outpatient clinic or primary clinic. 2. inclusion criteria: diagnosed of metabolic syndrome, agree to participate either programs, no history of participating regular exercise program past 6 months. 3. intervention: The behavioral modification program consisting of Tai Chi exercise (twice a week for 12 weeks) and self-management program (6 sessions every two weeks) is provided to the participants who randomly assigned to either group.
