Abstract

The present study investigates the stimulant and hematological effects of combined beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) and apple (Malus pumila Mill.) juice on the physical endurance and hemoglobin (Hb) levels of Sprague Dawley rats. Adequate Hb concentration plays a critical role in oxygen transport and energy metabolism during physical activity. Thus, natural stimulant sources rich in bioactive compounds were evaluated as potential alternatives to synthetic energy supplements. Twenty-five male rats were divided into five treatment groups (n = 5): three groups receiving different ratios of beetroot and apple juice (1:1, 2:1, and 1:2), a negative control (CMC-Na 0.5%), and a positive control (caffeine 20 mg/200 g body weight). Stimulant activity was assessed using a rotarod endurance test, while Hb levels were measured by the Sahli method using a hemometer. The results demonstrated that the combined beetroot and apple juice significantly enhanced both endurance duration and hemoglobin concentration compared to the negative control (p 0.05). The optimal stimulant and hematopoietic effects were observed in the 2:1 beetroot-to-apple ratio, corresponding to doses of 5.6 g and 0.63 g per 200 g body weight, respectively. This combination yielded prolonged rotarod retention time and elevated Hb levels up to 18.5 g/dL, exceeding baseline and control values. The observed enhancement is attributed to the synergistic effects of bioactive constituents such as iron, potassium, flavonoids, and vitamin C, which facilitate oxygen transport, neuromuscular coordination, and erythropoiesis. These findings indicate that beetroot–apple juice exerts a physiological stimulant effect while improving hematological parameters without the adverse effects commonly associated with synthetic caffeine-based stimulants. This study highlights the potential of functional plant-based beverages as safe natural ergogenic aids for improving endurance and blood health.

Abstract

Anemia in Indonesia remains one of the public health issues that requires serious and sustained attention. Adolescent girls in puberty are at high risk of iron deficiency anemia. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with anemia in adolescent girls. A cross-sectional study design was used in this study. The study was conducted at a high school in the Kalampangan Community Health Center working area. The study was conducted in November 2024. The population consisted of female students at high schools in the Kalampangan Community Health Center working area. The sample consisted of 117 respondents. The sampling technique used was proportionate stratified random sampling. The research instrument used was a research questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The results showed a relationship between iron tablet consumption compliance (p value: 0.000) and nutritional status (p value: 0.024) with the incidence of anemia in adolescents. It is recommended that the relevant health centers take further action, including developing intervention programs that cover education, support, and strategies to improve access to iron tablets at the school, family, and community levels. Keywords: Adolescents, Compliance, Nutritional Status

Abstract

Hipertensi merupakan penyakit degeneratif dengan tingkat morbiditas dan mortalitas tinggi. Rendahnya pengetahuan masyarakat serta kurangnya aktivitas fisik menjadi faktor yang meningkatkan risiko penyakit ini. Di Kenagarian Batipuh Baruah, sebagian besar masyarakat masih memiliki pemahaman terbatas mengenai penyebab dan pencegahan hipertensi. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran masyarakat melalui penyuluhan interaktif disertai pre-test dan post-test. Hasil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan yang signifikan setelah kegiatan penyuluhan. Peningkatan ini diharapkan dapat mendorong masyarakat lebih proaktif dalam menerapkan gaya hidup sehat dan mencegah hipertensi.
