The purpose of the present study was to the investigate the effect of sports massage, kaltenborn-evjenth orthopedic manipulative therapy and electrical therapy, general exercise on the limitation of range of motion(ROM) and on the pain(VAS) in patients with frozen shoulder. Fiftheen frozen shoulder patients between 50 and 60 years of age(females) were selected and were divided equally by random distribution into A group(sports massage, kaltenborn-evjenth orthopedic manipulative therapy, N=7)and B(electrical therapy, general exercise therapy, N=7) group. The results obtained were as follows : 1) The range of motion between two groups are significantly different in the treatment times, the ROM of A group increase in after-treatment(2 week 4 week) in comparison with ROM in before-treatment, it is significant increase. And it is significant difference in B group. 2) The pain level between two groups are not significantly different in the treatment times, the pain level of A group decrease in after-treatment(2 week, 4 week) in comparison with before-treatment, it is significant decrease. And it is significant difference in B group. Although the pain level of the A group decrease in after 2 week treatment in comparison with before-treatment but it is not significant decrease. Although the pain level of the B group decrease in after 4 week treatment in comparison with after 2 week treatment, but it is not significant decrease. 3) The A group is more effective in increasing the ROM and decreasing the pain level than B group during treatment times. The results showed that both A group method and B group method are effective ROM increase and pain reduce, but A group method is superior to B group method in ROM increase and pain reduce.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation in constituent element of blood between the massage group and non-massage group for period of convalescence after giving intense physical exercise of 180beat/min. for 10 men studying physical exercises. Education in K university served as the subjects for this study. The following are the results of the study. 1. The variation in white blood corpuscles showed a tendency of equal ascension in both groups just after finishing physical exercise, but the subjects in the massage group showed quicker recuperation than the subjects in the non-massage. The subjects in the massage group showed a lower tendency than the subjects in the non-massage group for 30minutes after finishing physical exercise. 2. In the variation of red blood corpuscles, it was increased in the massage and non-massage group after physical exercise, but it showed a tendency to drastically decrease in the massage group after 30 minutes. 3. Hemoglobin showed a variation increasing in the massage group and non-massage group after physical exercise, but it showed a tendency of rapid decrease in the massage group after 30 minutes. 4. In the variation of hematocrit, it showed a tendency of similar increase after physical exercise in the massage and non-massage group, but the subjects in the massage group showed a higher decrease than ones in the non-massage after 30 minutes. 5. Blood platelet was increased in the subjects of the massage group after physical exercise, but it was decreased drastically after 30 minutes. 6. In the variation of blood glucose, it was increased in the subjects in the massage group and decreased in the non-massage group after physical exercise, but it showed a tendency of rapid decrease in the non-massage group after 30 minutes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation in constituent element of blood between the massage group and non-massage group in the period of convalescence after giving intense physical exercise for ten T'ae-Kwondo martial artists. In the variations of red blood cells, white blood cells, hematocrit, hemoglobin and blood platelet, levels decreased during the rest time after physical exercise, but the subjects in the massage group showed lower tendency than the subjects in the non-massage group after physical exercise. The variation of calcium showed an ascension tendency in the massage group after physical exercise. Creatine phosphokinase was increased after physical exercise, but it showed a tendency of rapid decrease in the massage group. Lactic acid showed a variation increase after physical exercise. It showed a tendency of decrease during the rest time in the non-massage group, but it was increased after sports massage. The variation of blood glucose was increased after physical exercise. It was maintained in the massage group after physical exercise in contrast to the non-massage group whose levels decreased during the rest time.
