Abstract :One of the reasons why people take baths is to recover from fatigue. The present experiment focused on the effects of footbaths, which were evaluated quantitatively to find effective foot-bathing techniques. MT methods were used to construct a reference space of people in comparatively healthy physical condition leading normal lives; the reference space was then used for the calculations of Mahalanobis distances. This first report discusses methods of determining physical characteristics and explains how the reference space was constructed by selecting measurements that could be easily performed and were related to bathing effect. Data was collected from a questionnaire including questions selected to obtain a description of both physical and lifestyle characteristics. A reference space was constructed from the collected data, and Mahalanobis distances were calculated on a trial basis, using several subjects who took full-immersion baths; then the reference space was reviewed according to the results and a reference space for healthy subjects was defined. In this way it was possible to obtain a valid reference space.

Abstract :To use MT methods to quantify bathing effect, methods of measuring individuals? physical characteristics and quantifying their physical and lifestyle characteristics were studied as detailed in the preceding report. In the present report, characteristics were selected by using intentionally induced fatigue as a signal. Various foot-bathing modes were assigned to an orthogonal array, and the footbath effect was studied by calculating changes in the Mahalanobis distance. The footbath effect was thus elucidated by constructing a reference space of healthy subjects in which the degree of fatigue could be measured.
