Abstract

This study aims to review the literature related to the influence of living in highlands and lowlands on cardiovascular ability. Highlands, with an altitude of more than 2,500 meters above sea level, have unique environmental characteristics such as lower oxygen levels, lower air pressure, and cooler temperatures. In contrast, lowlands typically have more stable conditions and higher oxygen levels. These environmental differences are believed to have a significant impact on an individual's cardiovascular ability. In this literature review, we evaluated various studies comparing cardiovascular parameters such as aerobic capacity, VO2 max, resting heart rate, and other physiological adaptations between populations living in highlands and lowlands. The results of various studies show that individuals living at high altitudes tend to have better physiological adaptations in terms of oxygen use efficiency and higher aerobic capacity. This is due to the body's adaptation to chronic hypoxia, which increases red blood cell production and oxygen transport efficiency. However, there are also some higher cardiovascular challenges at high altitudes, such as an increased risk of pulmonary hypertension and heart disease. In contrast, low-lying populations generally show more stable cardiovascular parameters but are less adaptive to hypoxia conditions. In conclusion, living at high altitudes and lowlands exert different influences on cardiovascular ability, with each environment providing its own advantages and challenges. More research is needed to understand deeper adaptation mechanisms and their implications for long-term cardiovascular health

Abstract

– Coconuts, a major commodity in West Sumatra, often produce wasted coconut water, which causes pollution. To address this issue, training was conducted for member of the Ikhwatunnisa Women Farmers Group on how to make nata de coco from this waste. Nata de coco, a functional food, is produced by fermenting coconut water using Acetobacter xylinum bacteria. The training aimed to empower Ikhwatunnisa Women Farmers Group members with skills to start businesses, create jobs, and increase family income. The training included lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, covering everything from preparation to packaging. Evaluations showed high participant enthusiasm; 85% gained new insights and planned to produce nata de coco independently. This activity is expected to encourage new businesses and transform coconut water waste into a valuable economic product.

Abstract

This aims study investigates the influence of leg muscle power, flexibility, and self-confidence on the crescent kick speed of Pencak Silat athletes at the Laskar Silat Nusantara School in Kampar Regency. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the research involved 30 student-athletes selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using standardized measurements: vertical jump for leg muscle power, sit-and-reach for flexibility, a psychological scale for self-confidence, and a stopwatch-based crescent kick speed test. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson product–moment correlation, and multiple regression. The findings show significant positive correlations between crescent kick speed and leg muscle power (r = 0.63), flexibility (r = 0.54), and self-confidence (r = 0.48). Multiple regression analysis further indicates that the three variables collectively contribute significantly to kick speed (p < 0.05), explaining 58% of its variance (R² = 0.58). Leg muscle power was identified as the strongest predictor. These results highlight the importance of integrating physical conditioning and psychological development to enhance technical performance. The study underscores the need for training programs that balance strength, flexibility, and mental readiness in martial arts education.
