     We have made a systematic experimental study since we proposed the Qigong (Q-G) maneuver in 1986.  The purpose of this article is to summarize our 5-year research project. It describes the theoretical problems of the Q-G maneuver, including the mechanism of blood pressure elevation induced by the Q-G maneuver, analysis of the maneuver elements and their respective contribution,  the theory and method of muscular contraction in the Q-G maneuver, and the  theory and practice of seated posture in the anti-G maneuver.  We also describe  the characteristics of the Q-G maneuver in five aspects.
