마사지요법과 운동요법이 여고생의 복부비만 및 혈청성분에 미치는 영향 = Influence of Massage Therapy and Exercise Therapy on High School Girls' Abdominal Obesity and Serum Contents

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Subjects of this study were 11th and 12th grade girls who are currently attending I High School in Incheon. A total of 18 girls with over 0.85 WHR (Waist-hip circumference ratio), over 80cm waist, and over 110 obesity index were selected and divided into Experimental Group and Control Group. Both groups participated in 10 sessions of obesity control program. This study implemented massage therapy on the nine subjects in Experimental Group (aroma abdominal pressure massage) and exercise therapy on the nine subjects in Control Group (stair climbing, jump rope, and abdominal obesity targeted stretching). In addition, eating habits of all 18 subjects were surveyed in prior to the program to improve their eating habits. Then, three sessions were added during the program to improve their eating habits. All data acquired from the experiment were analyzed through SPSS (statistical package for the social science) ver 13.0. The following are the results:
First, Experimental Group with massage therapy and Control Group with exercise therapy showed 3.68kg and 2.07kg reduction in weight, 2.58cm and 1.02cm reduction around the waist, 1.72cm and 0.70cm reduction around the abdomen, 1.76cm and 0.94cm reduction around the hips, 2.66% and 2.39% in body fat, 3.41% and 2.74% in obesity, and 0.013% and 0.002% in WHR. All the reductions were statistically significant (p＜0.05, p＜0.01, p＜0.001). Also, lean body mass increased statistically significantly by 2.52kg and 2.43kg in Experimental Group and Control Group (p＜0.01, p＜0.001), but body water only increased statistically significantly by 1.76kg in the Experiment Group (p＜0.01). When the changes in physical constituents and measurements were analyzed and compared, the Experimental Group showed a greater difference in waist, abdominal, hips, and WHR (p＜0.01, p＜0.001) and both groups showed similar reduction or increase in weight, body fat, lean body mass, body water, and obesity. Second, Experimental Group and Control Group showed statistically significant decrease by 23.11㎎/㎗ and 33.67㎎/㎗ in serum contents, by 35.00mg㎗ and 28.33mg/㎗ in triglyceride, and by 26.89mg/㎗ and 23.56mg/㎗ in blood sugar (p＜0.05, p＜0.01, p＜0.001). The Experimental Group's HDL-Cholesterol was 4.00mg/㎗ and showed statistically a significant decrease (p＜0.01). The Control Group did not show any change in HDL-Cholesterol but only a statistically significant decrease in LDL-Cholesterol by 18.78mg/㎗ (p＜0.05). Reduction in serum contents of both groups did not show statistically significant differencein every category. Changes in blood pressure were also insignificant similar for both groups.
