Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find information about the effect of massage using kencur essential oil (kemferia galanga) as a lotion to overcome muscle fatigue in Hockey athletes. The method used in this study is an experimental method by giving treatment to three experimental groups of 30 people divided into 3 groups. Group A received exercise treatment. Group B received training treatment and massage with regular lotion and Group C received training treatment and massage with kencur essential oil lotion, each of which received treatment 16 times. The results of the study were that there was a significant difference in the average lactic acid levels between the three groups (p=0.000; p<0.05). It was also found that the average lactic acid level of group C was smaller than the other groups. This means that during the recovery process with massage, exercise treatment and massage with kencur essential oil are better at reducing lactic acid levels in the muscles than other groups.
