Objective This study aims to explore the intervention effect of combining three qi health exercises with sensory integration training on children's poor emotional self-control. Methods 80 children aged 6-12 with poor emotional self-control from two primary schools from January 2024 to June 2025 were selected and divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received a combined intervention of three qi health exercises and sensory integration training for 12 weeks, while the control group only received routine health education. Results After intervention, the total score of SCAS in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, the decrease in salivary cortisol levels was significantly greater, and the high-frequency power of heart rate variability was significantly increased (all P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of Three Qi Health Exercise and Sensory Integration Training may alleviate children's anxious emotions by regulating their autonomic nervous system function and stress response system, providing new ideas for non pharmacological interventions.
