Following a successful first run in the fall of 2018, Texas State University and The Price Center in downtown San Marcos are again partnering for “Connect Across Generations,” an exercise study for seniors that will examine the health impact of yoga or Tai Chi participation.
Individuals 65 years or older not enrolled in any group exercise class are now being recruited to attend either a Tai Chi or chair yoga class once a week during an 8-week period beginning in February. At the end of the period, a focus group interview will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the program.
“We were extremely pleased with the feedback and initial results the study produced last semester,” said Walter Horton, associate vice president for research and federal relations, and chief research officer. “The partnership proved beneficial on many levels for all involved.”
