The effects of thermotherapy on autonomic nervous system activity and subjective sensations of fatigue and arousal are unclear. This study compared the effects of capacitive and resistive electric transfer (Cret) interventions (deep thermotherapy) and hot packs (superficial thermotherapy) on autonomic nervous system activity in healthy young women (n = 16). Heart rate and RR interval were measured using electrocardiography, and the coefficient of variation (CV) of the RR interval was used to evaluate autonomic nervous system activity. The subjective relaxation effect was evaluated using the Roken Arousal Scale (RAS) - a fatigue arousal index. The intervention was performed on the lumbar region for 20 minutes for both Cret and hot pack. After each intervention, the CV values increased only in the Cret condition, whereas the heart rate decreased in both conditions. This suggests that parasympathetic activity was enhanced in the Cret condition. In contrast, the subjective relaxation evaluation observed a psychological relaxation effect under both conditions. Our results suggest that Cret application in the lumbar region has greater relaxation effects than hot pack application in the same region.
