Abstract

Background: There have been no reports of studies on the effect of a combination of myofascial relaxation technique and passive stretching on the lower extremity body shape of working women. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of myofascial relaxation technique and passive stretching on body composition and body composition analysis (intracellular fluid, skeletal muscle mass, body cell mass), etc. Methods: The subjects of this study were 30 women at a body shape management center who had many problems with their subjective lower extremity body shape. Fifteen subjects were in the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group applied the fascial relaxation technique twice a week for nine weeks. The control group conducted stretches by themselves at least twice a week according to the active stretching instructions. The ANOVA program analyzed the data. Results: In the experimental group, intracellular fluid (p < .05), skeletal muscle mass (p < .048), and body cell mass (p < .047) were significantly increased. Conclusion: The lower extremity edema of working women decreased

배경: 근막이완기법과 수동적 스트레칭을 병행한 실험이 직장여성의 하지체형에 미치는 연구는 보고되지 않았다. 목적: 고정자세로 근무하는 직장여성에게 근막이완기법과 수동적 스트레칭을 적용하여 체성분분석(세포내액, 골격 근량, 체세포량)에 어떤 변화를 미치는지를 연구하는 것이었다. 방법: 실험군과 대조군을 각각 15명씩 구성하여 실험 군에게는 주 2회, 총 9주간 18회 하체 집중 근막이완기법과 수동적 스트레칭을 시행하고, 대조군은 능동적 스트레칭 설명서를 보고 스스로 주 2회 이상 스트레칭을 하도록 했다. 수집한 자료는 분산분석으로 분석하였다. 결과: 실험집단의 체성분 중 세포내액(p < .05), 골격 근량(p < .048), 체세포량 (p < .047)이 유의하게 증가하였다. 결론: 직장여성의 하지 부종이 감소하였으며, 기초자료로서 가치가있다 본다.
