I just want to add a couple of more scientific references on internal styles for future reference
http://www.nwtaichi.com/moretaichiinfo.htm
http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1999/06_99/cheng.htm
these are basically the same article (short version, then a bit longer one)
these are written by medical doctor John Cheng who is at the same time a 7 star praying mantis sifu, and a Tai Chi sifu.
