Table 6: Participant information and measurement results for dermatological evaluation, skin moisture (Tewameter), and thermal camera. For the control group (comprising nine participants), the thermal camera measurements revealed the following:  
* Upper leg region: Five participants showed a negative change, two participants showed a positive change, and two participants had no change. * Hip region: Six participants showed a negative change, and three participants showed a positive change. * Calf region: Seven participants showed a negative change, and two participants showed a positive change. However, the thermal camera values for the control group's three regions did not show a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-activity measurements (upper leg: \(p\) = 0.075, hip: \(p\) = 0.677, calf: \(p\) = 0.151). For the microencapsulated product group, the thermal camera measurements indicated:  
* Upper leg region: Eight participants showed a positive change, and one participant showed a negative change. * Hip region: Seven participants showed a positive change, and two participants showed a negative change. * Calf region: Eight participants showed a positive change, and one participant showed a negative change. The differences in thermal camera values before and after the activity for participants wearing microencapsulated products were statistically significant across all three regions (upper leg: \(p\) = 0.011, hip: \(p\) = 0.038, calf: \(p\) = 0.033). In the group of volunteers wearing microencapsulated products, higher temperature values obtained via the thermal camera were observed. It is assumed that increased blood flow, indicated by these higher temperature values, contributes to the reduction in cellulite grade. Statistical analyses showed that the reduction in cellulite values was more pronounced in the group wearing microencapsulated products compared to the control group. To examine the impact of the three different fabric types used in the study, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was performed.
