The natural vital energy of supplying losing and dredging is used simultaneously. I have been practicing on the natural vital energy of 'Rapid Qigong,' basing on the principles of 'when people are saoless, we suooly it; when people are forceful, we lost it; and when people are silted, we dredge it.' We make the affected part achieve balance between the negative and be in the state of calmness.

3.Cases Analysis
(1) Mechanism of treatment:
The outer vital energy has the characteristics of substance, energy, and information. The effectiveness of the outer energy has something to do with the mental activities of the qigong master. Who imports his own energy with treatment information into the patient, adjusting ideas pushes forward the energy, starts the main and collateral channels of the patient, and improves the adjusting function of the patient. Moreover, when the qigong master exercises qigong, his thought is concentrated on the different point and it will make the different effects unanimous with the function of its gland of radiation: If ideas go toward the 'Dantian', the gland of radiation become adrenal the function has the use of curing injuries. It can stop bleeding and resist the inflammation, which is similar to adrenocortical hormone medicine. By this, it improve the function of supersession and immunity and strengthens the emergency ability of the body to recover the sports function.
(2) Analysis of effects:
According to the statistical graph, the total rate of effectiveness is 93.8%. The probability tells us that the number of people who have recovered, have obvious effect, that of these who have effect. It is thus clear that the outer vital energy is effective for the treatment of sports.
Twenty-seven people among the thirty-two cases began to have normal activities after only one treatment. Twenty-four people can continue their training or competition. One of the patients, who had suffered a lot tense syndrome before the 24th sports meeting of our institute, the result was 3'30''. This tells us that the outer vital energy can ease the tenseness before competition. From the observation and investigation, we can see the fully recovered without relapse after receiving qigong cure.
Such obvious effect has something to do with the following factors:
l) It has something with the person who gives energy:
If the person giving energy depends on his own subjective initiative, arouses the potential ability in the patient, constantly supplies the sources of energy, receives natural energy, gives it while supplying it, applies proper methods, with the best knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, learn from famous qigong master with an open mind, works hard, sums up techniques for treatment, he will greatly improve the rate of effectiveness.
2) It has something to do with the patient's sensitivity:
The outer energy,though being an information far from body, can be felt by the second and resemble to 'getting vital energy in acupuncture and moxibustion. The outer energy the patient receives works with his own energy. The patient should be relaxed without resisting ideas. The more he relax, the better treatment he will get.
3) It has something to do with the fact whether the patient exercises qigong:
Qigong helps to make the activities of the living body more in order, and the activities of the center nerve system be more coordinate. The person who has exercised qigong receives qigong information more easily, adjusts the order of the bioelectric current more quickly and recovers the function of the body quickly.
4.Conclusion
The observation and analysis of the above mentioned cases shows that qigong is effective for the treatment of sports injuries and for easing the tenseness before the competition. It distinguishes from other treatment in that: it takes a short tine, it has short period of treatment and obvious effect convenient. It is easy for the patient to practice so that he can take part in the competition earlier. However it is a gaps to prove athletic achievement in control and telesetive of qigong in sports health protection, training and competition.
