Abstract

Background: Massage may decrease muscle tension, accelerate blood circulation, increase nerve conductivity and hormonal changes, and increase immunity. Sports massage may also increase the level of beta endorphin (BE) hormone and immunoglobulin A (IgA) to accelerate the recovery of athletes. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate evidence of the effect of exercise massage on changes in IgA and BE hormone levels. Method: This research was an experimental research with the pre-test – post-test design. Research subjects were taken by inclusion: 1). 3rd year student of Sport Science Department, Yogyakarta State University, Indonesia, 2). Male students, 3). Healthy, and 4). Willing to be the subject of research. There were 18 students divided into 2 groups namely: treatment group I (K1), which was given sports massage, and group II (K2) as a control group, treated with placebo massage. The blood samples were taken through in vena cubiti of both control and experiment groups before and after treatment, and examined for the level of beta endorphin (BE) hormone and immunoglobulin A (IgA), by using instruments. The treatment for all the groups were physical exercises in the form of circuit weight training with 12 sessions and 10 repetitions/sets of 3 sets at high intensity for 60 minutes. After completion of circuit weight training, all samples were rested for 60 minutes. After the breaks, then all of the samples in each group were given 45 minutes massage treatment in the form of sports massage and placebo massage treatment for the group I and group II, respectively followed by resting for 60 minutes. Results: The exercise significantly increased the average IgA immune level by 36.22 mg/dl and beta-endorphin hormone levels by 1.65 ng/ml (F> 0.05). Conclusion: Sports massage to athletes performed heavy work and or exercise at high intensity could increase IgA and BE hormone.
