The aim of this study was to compare of the effect relaxation imagery with background music and aromatherapy to relieve quadriceps muscle tension and heart rate in University student-athlete after exercise. Participants were 30 volunteers of student-athlete in University (15 males and 15 females), The participants were sampling randomized into 3 groups (10 persons in each group) including 1) the sit resting group, 2) the imagery with background music group, and 3) the imagery with background music and aroma therapy group. The instruments were biofeedback measure (microvolts: μV), the imagery with background music, ergometer bicycle, lavender oil sprayer, and heart rate monitor. The experimental design was moderate exercise on bicycle at 75% of maximum heart rate, rest 1 minute, and experiment by 3 groups of relaxation program. The data were collected by pre-post test and recorded consecutively every 4 minutes. The statistical analysis used in this study are the means and standard deviation; and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).
The results of this research showed that When testing the compare multi variate analysis of variance different in all 3 groups found that there was no significant difference at p< 0.05. According to the within-subject in all of 3 experimental groups, there are significantly different at p< 0.05.
