Abstract Although previous studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) on improving balance ability and cognitive function in older adults, synergistic regulatory mechanisms TCC bilateral lower limb muscle activation symmetry, brain functional connectivity(FC) strength, dynamic remain unclear. This study aims to investigate a 9-week training program executive (EF), single-leg ability, FC strength elderly individuals. It provides valuable new insights into field that has not been extensively explored before. After intervention, (1) The group showed significant improvements Y-balance Test (YBTs), with enhanced symmetry between limbs reduction laterality activation. (2) strengthened related regions during YBTs. When performing YBTs left right legs separately, average two tasks was significantly reduced. (3) During EF tasks, reaction time reduced, concentration oxygenated hemoglobin prefrontal cortex increased. Studies shown superior intervention compared brisk walking neuromuscular adults. Through its multisensory integration model, simultaneously enhances coordination network collaboration efficiency, promoting adaptive reorganization control.
