Table 9: Results of Repeated Measures ANOVA for interaction among garment group, fabric type, and time on skin moisture measurements. In the analysis of skin moisture measurement results, a statistically significant interaction was observed in the abdomen region between time and garment group (\(p\) = 0.036) as well as time and garment group combined with fabric (\(p\) = 0.043). However, no significant interactions were found in the upper leg and calf regions for the factors time, garment group, and fabric. Therefore, further analyses were conducted for the abdominal region. To assess whether the difference in skin moisture values before and after the activity was statistically significant for both the control group and the microencapsulated product group, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was applied. The results obtained are presented in Table 10.  
In the control group, all nine participants showed a positive increase in abdominal skin moisture values, whereas in the microencapsulated group, all nine participants exhibited a negative increase. The positive ranks in the control group suggest that the skin moisture levels increased post-activity. The negative ranks in the microencapsulated group indicate that the skin moisture levels decreased post-activity, highlighting the effectiveness of the microencapsulated products in reducing skin moisture loss, which aligns with the intended moisturizing effect of these products. This finding supports the conclusion that the use of microencapsulated products has a significant effect on maintaining or improving skin moisture levels compared to the control group. This conclusion is reinforced by the \(p\)-values indicating statistical significance.
