After factor analysis, five factors are extracted, including \ue2Extrinsic behavior and identity\ue2, \ue2Improving physical and mental health\ue2, \ue2Pursuit of Tai Chi Chuan philosophy and skills\ue2, \ue2Recreation, escape from pressure, and making friends\ue2, \ue2Longevity and soul inspiration\ue2, and \ue2Body shaping\ue2. And then according to cluster analysis, three groups are separated on the basis of the five factors. Each of them is named \ue2Pursuit of extrinsic identity\ue2, \ue2Pursuit of soul inspiration and mental health\ue2, and \ue2Pursuit of balanced physical and mental health\ue2. Finally, by Chi-square test and ANOVA analysis, this research discovers that the average years of practice is significant related to \ue2Extrinsic behavior and identity\ue2, \ue2Improving physical and mental health\ue2, \ue2Longevity and soul inspiration\ue2.
Therefore, promoters can find the needs of the silver-haired Tai Chi Chuan participants by these chief motives and design unique activities for each segment to make their promotion more effective
