Abstract
The aim of this experimental research was to study the effect of thigh anti-cellulite massage on working women. Prior to the study, subjects were required to have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 20 kg/m2, whole body subcutaneous fat greater than 30, thigh subcutaneous fat greater than 30, and grade 2 cellulite severity. Subjects received thigh anti-cellulite massage for 40 minutes and thigh plastic wrap for 20 minutes, once a week for eight weeks. Before and after the massage, assessments of BMI, whole body subcutaneous fat, thigh subcutaneous fat, and left-right thigh circumference (both upper and lower) were taken. Analysis of databy descriptive statistics, and comparative analysis of differences before and after massage with independent t-test.The results showed no significant differences in BMI (P > 0.050), whole body subcutaneous fat (P = 0.060), and thigh subcutaneous fat (P = 0.071). However, after the thigh anti-cellulite massage, there was a significant decrease in thigh circumference (P < 0.001) in both the left-right upper and lower parts.In summary, the results suggest that thigh anti-cellulite massage and thigh plastic wrap can reduce thigh circumference.
