A Study of the Effects of Green Tea Intake after Meridian Massage on Oxidative Stress and Fatigue in Middle-aged Women

In terms of lactic acid levels, a statistically significant decrease was observed in both the control group (3.5%) and experimental group (35.4%). In terms of uric acid levels, a statistically significant decrease by 3.0% and 5.4% was found in the control and experimental groups, respectively. In terms of hormone changes, cortisol levels declined by 28.6% in the control group and by 32.4% in the experimental group with statistical significance. In terms of serotonin levels, no statistically significant difference was detected in either group. In terms of oxygen free radical-related changes, SOD increased with statistical significance by 22.9% in the control and by 41.3% in the experimental group. In terms of BAP, a 0.8% increase was found in the control group while a statistically significant increase (2.6%) was observed in the experimental group. In terms of d-ROMs, a statistically significant decrease was detected in the control (2.7%) and experimental (4.3%) groups. The results above reveal that the experimental group is weaker than the control group in terms of post-massage fatigue severity because of low lactic acid and uric acid levels. In addition, it appears that low cortisol, high SOD, high BAP and low d-ROMs had an effect on the results.
