The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing in worldwide. Obesity is the root cause of many diseases, including chronic diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver, and cardiovascular diseases. Overweight and obesity is a complex process that is influenced by social, cultural, behavioral, physiological, genetic and epigenetic factors. Therefore, the aim of this research was to determine the effect of 8 weeks of massage with cavitation device and green coffee supplement consumption on leptin hormone and ATGL enzyme levels in obese women. Sixty obese women with age range (20-35 years) and average body mass index (32 kg/m2) participated voluntarily in this research. Subjects were randomly divided into equal four groups; control group, cavitation massage group, green coffee supplement group, and cavitation massage with green coffee supplement groop (N= 4*15). Green coffee capsules with a dose of 200 mg were used. Training groups were massaged with a cavitation device for eight weeks, five sessions a week and according to the massage program. At the beginning of the study, fasting blood sampling was done from all groups. The sample was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for about 20 minutes, and after, the serum was prepared, the samples were immediately frozen at -70°C until the time of testing. The leptin hormone and ATGL enzyme levels of the subjects were measured by ELISA laboratory method, and at the end of eight weeks, blood sampling was done again with the same conditions as before, and the leptin hormone and ATGL enzyme levels of the subjects were measured again. Two-way analysis of variance test at 95% confidence level were used to compare the data and investigate the effect of supplementation and massage. Based on the results of this research, 8 weeks of massage with cavitation device and green coffee supplement in all treatment groups caused a significant decrease in leptin hormone level and a significant increase in ATGL enzyme level in obese women (P<0.05). In the simultaneous intervention group, the most changes were observed in leptin hormone and ATGL enzyme levels (p=0.0001). Massage with a cavitation device and green coffee supplement each have an effect on the level of leptin hormone and ATGL enzyme, but according to the results, the intervention of these two has more effects.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of selected exercises on the motor and social development of children.

The current research was a semiexperimental type that was conducted in the field using experimental and control groups. The statistical population of the research includes all the third-grade students (10,500 people) of Ahvaz city, of which 40 people were randomly selected (staged cluster) and then randomly assigned to two experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. Then the experimental group performed selected exercises for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week and each session was 45 minutes. Gross motor development test (TGMD-2) by Ulrich (2002) was used to measure basic skills and also Vineland social development scale (1989) was used to measure social development. Independent and dependent t tests were used for data analysis at a significance level of p>0.05.

The results obtained from the research showed that there is a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in the development of movement skills (p 0.001, 8.433), manipulation skills (p 0.001, 10.951) and in the development movement (p 0.001, 13.203). Also, the findings showed that there is a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in social development (p<0.022, 2.469).

Based on tese results, it can be concluded that the selected exercises can be used as a suitable program to improve motor and social development of students in the elementary schools.

People with knee osteoarthritis suffer from profound proprioception impairment and decreased muscle strength. Massage is mentioned as an intervention that can relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of four weeks of Swedish massage on knee joint proprioception, muscle strength of quadriceps, and osteoarthritis symptoms in adult women with knee osteoarthritis. Thirty women were included by targeted and available sampling (age 52.60±7.30 years old, height 1.57±0.05 m, body mass74.40±9.60 kg). The subjects were randomly divided into two equal control and intervention groups (n=15). The intervention group received the Swedish massage for 4 weeks (12 sessions). During this period, the control group did not receive any interventional protocol. Symptoms of osteoarthritis, muscle strength of quadriceps, and knee joint proprioception were analyzed in the pre-and post-test using the WOMAC questionnaire, handheld dynamometer, and joint angle reconstruction, respectively. A mixed repeated measure test was used for comparison between and within groups. The results showed a significant improvement in the desired variables of the intervention group compared to the control group (P<0.05). So that osteoarthritis symptoms were significantly improved (P=0.001), and quadriceps muscle strength (P=0.001) and knee joint proprioception (P=0.001) were significantly increased. Based on the findings of this study, massage can increase the strength of quadriceps muscles and improve the knee joint proprioception in women with knee osteoarthritis by decreasing pain and improving physical function. Therefore, it is recommended to use this intervention in order to improve strength, joint proprioception, and symptoms in women with knee osteoarthritis.

.Spinal cord injuries are one of the most serious physical injuries. People with spinal cord injury generally suffer from one or more types of pain. Neuropathic pain is the most common of these and can lead to functional impairment as it is associated with loss of mobility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of reflexology massage and virtual reality on improving the function of paraplegics. The sample of this study consisted of Athletic men paraplegics who are members of the Veterans and Disabled Board of Tehran Province. Forty-five paraplegic athletes were randomly divided into three groups of control, virtual reality and reflexology, using the letters of the alphabet in the medical record. The two experimental groups performed three sessions of intervention per week for 6 weeks and the control group did not receive any intervention. Performance-related shoulder girdle strength and range of motion were evaluated by Mobe MMT dynamometer and Mobee Electrogonometer, respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23 software at a significance level of 0.05. The results of statistical tests showed that the strength and range of motion of the shoulder girdle In different movements of Outward rotation, inward rotation,extention and flexion after selecting 6 weeks of training according to available research, intervention in both massage and virtual reality groups increased. (P=0/003, P=0/001, P=0/02, P=0/003). The increase in strength and range of motion According to the means of change was also more significant in the virtual reality group. The results showed that the application of reflexology massage as well as the virtual reality system was effective in improving the range of motion and strength of the shoulder girdle in people with paraplegia; therefore, people with paraplegia and the educators and nurses who work with them can use the benefits of these interventions to improve their performance.

The aim of this study was the effect of release massage and stretching exercises on pain, ROM and functional disability of the Neck due to Myofascial Trigger Points of the Trapezius Muscle. 30 patients were divided into three groups including massage group, stretching group and control group. Patients in experimental groups received training for 8 weeks. Pain, ROM and functional disability were measured with a visual analog scale, goniometer and Neck Pain and Disability Scale, respectively. The results showed that stretching exercises and massage led to a significant increase in ROM and a significant decrease in pain and functional disability. Also, significant differences were observed between the two groups for all variables. Based on the results, massage can have more advantages than stretching exercises, but due to the benefits of stretching movements as an exercises approach, these exercises are recommended for trigger points.

Cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and are considered an important objective for therapeutic intervention. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks Pilates training and massage therapy on plasma serum levels of IL_17 and IFNβ as pro-inflammatory cytokines in patients with MS. In this clinical trial study, 36 women patients (who had medical file in MS society of Tabriz, Iran) with range age from 30 to 40 years old, a degree of the disease from 0 to 4/5 and average length of disease was 7±2 yr, were selected and split in to 4 groups: massage (n=9), pilates (n=9), pilates + massage (n=9), and a control (n=9). Pilates training and massage therapy included 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week, 40-60 minutes each session (20 to 40 minutes for Pilates and 20 to 30 minutes for massage). Blood samples were taken before and after intervention. Data were analyzed by ANOVA using spss20. The results showed that after eight weeks of Pilates training and massage therapy, IL-17 levels decreased significantly in Pilates, Massage and Pilates + Massage groups, and the level of IFN-β in massage and Pilates + Massage groups increased significantly (P< 0/05). Since Pilates coupled with Massage reduced pro-inflammatory IL-17 cytokine and increase IFN-β in MS patients, it seems that Pilates training and massage therapy can be used as a complementary treatment along with other drug therapies for preventing the progress of MS.

Massage and dry cupping are two pre-competition modalities that are used to help improve athletes’ performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of pre-exercise massage and dry cupping on selected skill-related fitness components, and psycho-cognitive functioning in athletes.

Twelve male athletes (age: 22.25±1.8 years, weight: 84.2±14.8 kg, height: 1.8±0.1 m) volunteered to participate in this study. In a Quasi-experimental randomized counterbalanced crossover design, they performed three test sessions at the same time of day, one week apart: after dry cupping, after massage, and after no intervention. Ten minutes after each intervention, explosive power, speed, agility, and cognitive performance were measured and the subjects completed the Profile of Mood States questionnaire. Data were analyzed using RM-ANOVA and the statistical significance level was set at p≤0.05.

The data indicated that power significantly increased after dry cupping compared to massage and no intervention (p≤0.05), however the speed and agility were not significant anymore (p˃0.05). Both dry cupping and massage caused a significant increase in the Tower of London test scores (p≤0.05). Finally, there were no significant differences among three interventions in the positive and negative mood states (p˃0.05).

Findings of the present study suggest that pre-exercise massage and dry cupping may improve physical and mental performances of athletes, but it does not affect their mood.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of three methods massage, yoga selected Training and combination of massage and yoga on the self-esteem of depressed elderly women. Based on the research criteria, sixteen available samples selected and simple randomly divided into three experimental and one control groups. The samples completed the Beck Depression Inventory and Rosenberg Self-Esteem before the intervention, two months after the intervention and one month after the end of the intervention. Each experimental group received one of interventions of the massage, selected yoga practice, and the combination of massage and yoga for eight weeks per week three sessions and each session 40 minutes. The data were analyzed by factor analysis of variance 4* 3. The results showed that all three methods led to improvement in the self-esteem but the combination of massage and yoga had the greatest effect on improving the self-esteem of depressed elderly women.

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein that plays an important role in the maintenance and repair of the nervous system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8-weeks of Pilates training with massage on serum BDNF leveland fatigue index in women with multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, 18 volunteer female MS patients (0, diseases history: 4/5; 7±2 years, age: 30-40 years) were randomly divided into Pilates training with massage (n=9) and control (n=9) groups. Training program for Pilates training with massage was carried out for 8 weeks (3 s/wk, consisted of 20 to 40 min Pilates & 20 min massage per session). The BDNF of serum and fatigue index were measured before and after the intervention. Analysis of the data was performed by Paired samples and independent samples t-test by SPSS21 at p<0.05 statistical significance level. Following to eight weeks of Pilates training with massage, serum BDNF level was significantly increased and fatigue index was significantly decreased (p<0.05). It seems that Pilates training along with massage could be proposed as a complementary treatment alongside medications to prevent disease progression in MS patients.

Reflexes are body automatic and involuntary responses to a variety of stimuli such as pressure, sound and touch to use as means for determining the level of neurological and central nervous system disorders diagnosis. So this important, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tactile kinetic stimulations on reflex state of preterm neonates. For this purpose, among all infants of Amiralmomenin hospital neonatal unit of Semnan city during one to two months, 40 infants and mother’s selected purposefully and divided to experimental and control groups. Then, mothers of experimental group conducted tactile kinetic stimulations on infants to completion of fetal period (40 weeks gestation) for 20 minutes and three times a day whereas, control group received only usual care. Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale was used to evaluate reflex state of neonates, before and after the intervention. The results of mixed ANOVA showed that despite the more improvement in reflexes of premature neonates in the experimental group compared to the control group, was not significant (P≥0.05). tactile kinetic stimulation can be solution to improve the reflex state of preterm neonates and likely more time frames is required to reveal the beneficial effects of intervention.

Several studies have revealed the effect of neuromuscular training on balance improvement of athletes suffering from chronic ankle instability; however, a few of them have addressed its combined effect with massage as well as its maintenance of effect. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the effect and maintenance of neuromuscular training with and without massage on balance performance in female athletes with chronic ankle instability.
The participants of this study comprised 24 female athletes suffering from chronic ankle instability whose age ranged from 19 to 26 years. The participants were selected equally from different ball sportsbased on convenience sampling. Moreover, they were randomly divided into two experimental groups: Group 1 (n=12) and Group 2 (n=12). Biodex Balance System was used to examine their balance. Group 1 had ankle massages followed by neuromuscular training, and Group 2 took neuromuscular training for six weeks; three successive sessions per week. Subsequently, there was a four-week break in order to scrutinize the effect of short-term maintenance, thus the variables were measured again. To analyze the data, Repeated Measures and ANCOVA were employed.
The findings of this study showed that there was a statistically significant difference between neuromuscular exercises with massage and those without massage (p0.05).
According to the results of the study, neuromuscular training with and without massage can improve athletes’ balance performance for a month of maintenance.

Balance as one of the most essential motor skills has an important role in the independence of the people''s movements and many important factors. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most prevalent complications of diabetic micro-vascular that causing sensory loss of the legs proprioception and balance after destroying of the lower limbs nervous system. Therefore، the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of six weeks reflexology and Yumeiho massages on balance and prorioception in females with diabetic neuropathy of the lower limbs. thirty-four patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy were selected using available systematic sampling and divided into three reflexology (N=12)، Yumeiho (N=11) and control (N=11) groups، balance and prorioception were measured using the Sharpened Romberg test and goniometer respectively. Six weeks of Yumeiho and reflexology massaging were applied over 18 sessions on the experimental groups. Data were analyzed using paired-t test and independent t-test، one-way analysis of variance and Tukey''s post hoc test (SPSS( The results show that massages (reflexology and Yumeiho) results in improving the balance and proprioception in the patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy (P< 0. 05). In addition، not found any significant difference between two groups of reflexology and Yumeiho massages. The finding of this research shows that reflexology and Yumeiho massages have a significant impact on the balance and proprioception of the females suffering from diabetic neuropathy and no significant difference found between these two methods.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 8-week resistance training with concurrent (resistance-massage) on leptin serum and body composition in overweight young male. Twenty overweight young male (age 22. 1 ± 1. 6 years and BMI= 28. 3 ± 1. 2 kg/m2) volunteered to participate in this study and randomly divided into a resistance training group (n=10) and resistance training combined with massage group (n=10). The resistance training consisted of leg extensions، lying leg curl، dumbbell lateral raise، bench press، lateral pull down and triceps pushdown with 80% of the 1RM for 3 days a week. The massage sessions were conducted in the days before resistance training sessions. Blood samples and body composition was measured before the start training protocol and 48 hour after last training sessions. Changes from baseline were assessed using the paired sample t-test. In addition، pre -post comparisons between groups were analyzed with independent student’s t-tests. Both groups improved their leptin serum، lipid profile and body composition; however the resistance training combined with massage group showed significantly (P<0. 05) greater improved only in TG and body fat when compared to the resistance group. It seems that implementing of the 8 weeks resistance training combined with massage aimed at reducing TG and body fat can be a good strategy.

The aim of the present study, effects of six weeks massage on the balance, fatigue and quality of life in patients with MS. The population study of persons with multiple sclerosis 20 to 50 years constituted the entire city of Shiraz were members of the MS Society. For the purposes of the study, 17 patients were willing to participate in the implementation of the research process finally, participants were randomly divided into two experimental groups (n = 9) and control (n=8) groups. To collect information about the variables in the study of Berg Balance Scale, Quality of Life Scale (MSQOL-54) and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FFS) was used. For statistical analysis, descriptive statistics and t-test to test the research hypotheses to compare pre-test and post-test and also to compare the results of both experimental and control groups, independent t test was used. Findings showed that six weeks of massage on reducing balance and fatigue in MS patients had a significant influence. The variable quality of life results were not significantly effects on physical health, but the impact was significant in mental health. Massage can be a low-cost; low-risk method of treatment should be considered for patients with MS.

The aim of this research was to determine the effect of trunk massage on heart rate of female rowers in serial activities. For this purpose، ten female (19. 2±1. 2 yrs) were sailing the 200 meters long lake، two sessions in 3 sets. At 15-minute rest intervals between series، they have used recovery with or without massage in each session. ANOVA Results showed that unlike to recovery without massage which has no effects on sets'' heart rates، recovery with massage caused a significant reduction of before performance heart rate in 2th (84. 8±3. 3) and 3th series (84. 5±6. 8) relative to first set (92. 2± 8. 4) and after performance heart rate in 3th set (101. 8±7. 8) relative to 2th set (109. 8±13. 7). These findings can indicate that massage reduces heart rate in serial activities، although its volume and intensity should be varied due to the density of exercise pressures.

Regarding the importance and role of warm up, nowadays, coaches apply various methods to improve the performance of their athletes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effect of three different warm up the protocols (massage, dynamic stretching, proprioception) on selected physical fitness factors in men’s volleyball players. Thirty-one volleyball players (Mean±SD: age 21.2±1.7 yr, weight 72.1±8.9 kg, and height 180.5±5.0 cm), were randomly divided into 4 groups: massage, dynamic stretching, proprioception and control groups. In the first session, following by five minutes of slow running, selected fitness tests (Anaerobic power, agility and flexibility tests) were measured. In the second session, experimental groups (after 15 minutes of specialized warm ups) and control group were performed the selected physical fitness tests. Data were analyzed using one way ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc test with a significant level p

As exercise influences body and mind، the physical and psychological factors influence sport and sport performance as well. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of three methods of aromatherapy، massage and aromatherapy–massage on muscle pain of physical fitness girls of Isfahan. 32 athletes who participated in the 1390 Fajr tournaments were selected by the available method and divided into equal groups of control، aromatherapy، massage and aromatherapy–massage. Demographic questionnaire and Talug muscle soreness questionnaire were used to collect data. For data analysis، dependent and independent t tests were used. The results showed that except for aromatherapy group، there was a significant difference in the rate of muscle pain before and after the intervention (P<0. 05) between control and massage and between control and aromatherapy-massage groups. It can be concluded that aromatherapy، massage and aromatherapy–massage are effective interventions to reduce muscle pain in athletes in the competitions.

To day, the use of recovery as a active, passive, massage, stretching, electrical stuimualtion and combination of them have been attention, but, the results of studied on their effectiveness is conflicting

The purpose of this research was to study effect of four types of recovery, namely: active recovery, passive recovery, active combined massage, and massage after intense activity on anaerobic function, blood lactate, rating of perceived fatigue, rating of perceived vigor and finally on the rating of perceived exertion on the physical education students.

12 male students of Kharazmi University Voluntary participated as the subjects of this study. Firstly, these subjects performed standard warm up for 5 minutes on the cycle ergometer, and then immediate completed six stage high intensity bouts of exercise on a cycle ergometer. After five minutes active recovery, subjects practiced different recoveries for 20 minutes with cross design way. Blood lactate was measured 0, 5 and 25 minutes after intense activity. At the end of recovery, the Wingate test performed in 30 seconds.

one way analysis of variance with repeated measuring and the LSD test demonstrated that the efficiency rating of combined recovery on blood lactate cleaning, combined and passive recovery on peak power improvement, combined recovery on average power improvement, combined and active recovery on minimum power improvement, combined, active and massage recovery on fatigue index improvement, combined and massage recovery on the Rating of perceived exertion and rating of perceived vigor improvement is higher than other types of recovery (p <0.05).Discussion and

based on research results it seems that the combined recovery has the highest effect on cleaning the blood lactate, improving anaerobic function, rating of perceived fatigue and perceived vigor than other types of recovery.
