| ABSTRACT |
|
This study examines the comparative effect of essential oil (instead of jojoba oil) and the effect of
simultaneous massage treatments in abdominal obesity improvement. We selected middle-aged women
in their 40s~50s residing in Seoul city, and treated a control group with jojoba oil.
As a experimental groups, a group A was treated with essential oil, a group B was treated with
jojoba oil and alongside massage treatments, and a group C was treated with essential oil and
alongside massage treatments - applying the massage with a frequency of twice a week for four
weeks, to a total of eight treatments.
The experimental group A showed a decrease of the following data: body fat (0.93 kg), BMI
(0.16 kg/m2), abdominal fat percentage (0.01%), waist size (1.76cm), . All of these are not statistically
significant. The experimental group B showed a decrease of the following data: body fat (1.02
kg), BMI (0.36 kg/m2), abdominal fat percentage (0.03%), waist size (4.17cm). All of these are statistically
significant.
The experimental group C showed a decrease of the following data: body fat (1.56 kg), BMI
(0.51 kg/m2), abdominal fat percentage (0.01%), waist size (7.32cm). All of these are statistically
significant. As can be seen from these results, essential oil showed a larger increase than jojoba oil,
and massage-applied groups clearly show a larger improvement than those without. |
