Abstract

This study is designed to ascertain the influence of soaking types in a bath on fatigue-causing materials in blood and stress hormones after doing resistance exercise through conducting an experiment for 7 women in their 20s. Each subject had full soaking in a bath at 17~18 ℃(a cold bath), 35~36℃(a tepid bath) and 42~43℃(a hot bath) for 30 minutes respectively after having her blood taken one time in her stable state and then having one time of blood-sampling right after doing exercise in a 80% of 1RM level. They had their blood taken one time after a bath and after 30minutes of relaxation one time, 4 times a day, 12 times of blood-sampling in total. From this experiment. The analyzed data brought about the following results by using one-way ANOVA with SPSS 10.0 and post-hoc analysis was done by Scheffé. In the lactate levels in blood int subjects after resistance exercise, the lactate levels showed significant changes(p〈.01) in a cold bath, a tepid bath and a hot bath. In the ammonia levels in blood in the subjects changed significantly(p〈.01) in a tepid bath and a hot bath. The epinephrine levels showed significant changes in a cold bath(p〈.01) and also indicated significant changes in a tepid bath(p〈.05). The norepinephrine levels indicated significant changes in a cold bath(p〈.01), a tepid bath(p〈.05) and a hot bath(p〈.01). As a result, bathing after resistance exercise seems to have a positive effect on blood fatigue change and further studies such as the immersion method and time should be considered.
