Abstract

Background: Surfing is a type of water sport that involves playing on the waves by using a surfboard to maneuver on the waves. It requires good static balance and good leg muscle strength. Methods: The method used in the analytical cross-sectional study design. This research was conducted on February 25, 2023. The inclusion criteria for male surfers aged 18-25 years have ever surfed (nor in the training or learning process). According to the screening assessment, the exclusion criteria included individuals who have experienced a lower extremity injury in the last 3 months (except lacerations or injuries with open wounds). The sampling technique used was a nonprobability sampling method with a purposive sampling technique. The number of samples obtained in this research was 46 samples. Results: Data collection was carried out by measuring leg muscle strength and static balance. Leg muscle strength was measured with a leg dynamometer while static balance was measured with the Stork Standing Test. Based on the non-parametric Spearman rho analysis test, the value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) and the correlation coefficient r = 0.954. Conclusion: Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there was a significant relationship between leg muscle strength and static balance in surfers.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide and ranks first among the most common diseases in Mengwi, Badung. Hypertension is characterized by persistently high blood pressure, with systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 mmHg. Physical activity plays a crucial role in maintaining heart health. This research aimed to determine the relationship between physical activity and hypertension in menopausal women. Methods: The research used an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted in August–November 2023 at Desa Penarungan, Mengwi, Badung, Bali. Purposive sampling was used as the sampling method, resulting in 80 samples. Physical activity was measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer. Data was analyzed using the Spearman rank statistical test. Results: The statistical test showed a value of p=0.000 (p<0.005), indicating a significant relationship between physical activity and hypertension in menopausal women. The obtained correlation value was r=-0.479, which was negative and signified an inverse or opposite relationship with a relatively strong correlation level. This suggested that the lower the level of physical activity, the higher the degree of hypertension. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between physical activity and hypertension in menopausal women.
