ABSTRACT:
The research aimed to determine the effect of Thai massage on fatigue recovery and blood pressure. This research was conducted at the Health and Sports Center (HSC) Therapy Clinic, Yogyakarta State University, using the pre-experimental research method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research instrument involved a fatigue measurement scale questionnaire and a digital sphygmomanometer. The study population included patients at the Health and Sports Center Therapy Clinic, Yogyakarta State University (UNY), who complained of fatigue. The sample in this research was 30 people who were calculated using the sample size calculator program. The significance of the differences in the pretest and posttest data was obtained using a paired t-test. The results of this study showed that the average pretest fatigue score was 30.6+2.5, and the average posttest score was 24.9+2.2. The difference between the two results in a significant decrease with P=0.000 (p<0.05). The average pretest systolic score was 115.5+6.3, and the posttest was 119.5+6.3. The difference between the two was tested by paired t-test resulting in a significant increase with P=0.000 (p<0.05). The average pretest diastolic value was 79.1+7.6, and the average posttest value was 81.6+6.4. The difference between the two was tested by paired t-test resulting in a significant increase with P=0.004 (p<0.05). Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that Thai Massage can significantly reduce fatigue and increase blood pressure.
