So-hee Son, Jae-nam Lee
Abstract
This study attempted to analyze the effects of full-body bath and massage using rice bran extract on body shaping and provide basic data which can make a contribution to the development of health improvement & body shaping-related industries. For this, a total of 16 adult women in their 20-50s were split into two groups with 8 people each: Bath (B) group and bath & massage (BM) group. Throughout four weeks, the followings were measured before and after the test: body weight, body fat percentage, waist hip ratio (WHR), abdominal size (cm, 5cm), hip circumference and right thigh circumference (cm, 5 cm). After the test, body weight decreased in both B and BM groups (p<0.05). Body fat also declined in both groups. In addition, decrease in body fat percentage was found in B (p<0.001) and BM (p<0.05) groups. In WHR, significant decrease was observed in B group (p<0.001). In abdominal size (cm), both B (p<0.01) and BM (p<0.001) groups decreased. In abdominal circumference (5 cm), both groups (p<0.001) declined. In hip circumference, both B (p<0.01) and BM (p<0.001) groups decreased. In right thigh size (cm) as well, both B (p<0.05) and BM (p<0.001) groups diminished. In right thigh circumference (5 cm) as well, both B (p<0.01) and BM (p<0.001) groups decreased. In right thigh size (cm) as well, both B and BM groups (p<0.001) groups decreased. According to the test, body composition and physical measurement variables significantly decreased because of the followings: heat generated by the metabolism of microorganisms during the fermentation of rice bran extract; enzyme, one of the metabolites of microorganisms; far infrared ray from the heat of fermentation; exercise effect after full-body massage.
