台灣擁有豐富的溫泉資源，在許多研究發現釋放壓力及幫助放鬆是遊客泡溫泉主要的動機，但目前國內研究浸泡溫泉對紓解壓力及放鬆之效益並不多見。故本研究以心率變異性分析，探討浸泡不同泉質對自律神經的影響。
本研究以30名大專院校學生自願參與試驗者為研究對象，利用心率變異性分析評估受試者浸泡白磺泉、碳酸氫鹽泉及熱水，浸泡溫度40~41度，每次浸泡5分鐘休息1分鐘，共20分鐘，浸泡方式至劍突位置，探討對於交感神經系統及副交感神經系統之影響及浸泡後30分鐘內自律神經之變化。
結果顯示，在透過浸泡不同泉質的溫泉浸泡實驗後，受試者在浸泡碳酸氫鹽泉及白磺泉後心率變異度皆比浸泡熱水有顯著影響。 Taiwan has abundant tourism resources. There are many researchers found that the main motivation for tourisms to go balneotherapy is for relief pressure and relax. But, there are rare of researches shows that the balneotherapy will relief pressure and relax in domestic researches. The sample for this study was the 30 university students voluntarily participating in the trial study. Used heart rate variability analysis to assess the subjects balneotherapy sulfur spring, bicarbonate salt spring and hot water, temperature was controlled between 40℃ to 41℃, soak for 5 minutes per time and for rest 1 minute, total 20 minutes for a section. Investigate the autonomic nerve changes within 30 minutes of the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system and after balneotherapy.The results showed that through balneotherapy in the hot springs of different spring immersion test, the subjects heart rate variability after balneotherapy in bicarbonate salt spring and the sulfur springs are better than balneotherapy in water have a significant effect.
