The activity data (% movement) were also analyzed as above as a repeated measuresANOVA. The analyses revealed
a significant group by time interaction effect, F(1, 3) = 6.11, p < .05, suggesting a long term reduction in overall
movement for the massage group from the first to the last day of the 5-day study (M first day = 33.8; S.D. = 13.7/M last
day = 21.7; S.D. = 11.0). No reduction in activity was observed for the control group (M first day = 24.3; S.D. = 15.9/M
last day = 24.3; S.D. = 11.0) (see Fig. 1).
