Abstract

This community service programme aims to increase awareness of healthy lifestyles in productive-age women through training in the sport massage method. The partner in this activity is the Regional Leadership of Aisyiyah Bandung City, an organisation that has concerns for women's health and welfare. The training was designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the importance of physical health, especially through sport massage, which can help reduce muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and restore the body's condition after physical activity. As such, the training is expected to foster awareness of the importance of adopting a healthy and active lifestyle among women of productive age, ultimately contributing to the improvement of their quality of life. The methods used in this training include counselling, hands-on demonstrations, and interactive practical sessions, so that the participants can easily understand and apply sport massage in their daily lives. The results of this activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge and skills in performing sport massage, as well as increased awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract

Children's cognitive development is a crucial part of their growth process, particularly in the areas of comprehension and memory. However, many children struggle to improve this ability. Exercise activities such as taekwondo are thought to be able to enhance cognitive development, although there have been few studies specifically looking at their benefits for Indonesian children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of taekwondo-related activities on cognitive functions, particularly concentration, in children aged 6 to 9 years in the elementary stage. This study uses an experimental approach with 20 children from Sukabumi Academy Taekwondo Dojang, consisting of 10 children and 10 adults. Taekwondo exercises are performed three times a month for 21 minutes at moderate intensity (between 50-80%). The Stroop Colour Word Test (SCWT) is an instrument for assessing a person's ability to understand words, colours and word combinations. The paired T-test is used to analyse the differences between the results before and after the test. The results show a significant increase in the following three variables: Word-Colour Combination (t(19) = 10.491, p<0.001), Word-Colour Recognition (t(19) = 7.973, p<0.001) and Colour-Colour Recognition (t(19) = 8.063, p<0.001). The average score after the test was better than before the test, indicating an increase in concentration after the Taekwondo intervention. Taekwondo exercises significantly improve cognitive functions, especially concentration, in children aged 6 to 9 years. This study highlights the importance of incorporating sports such as taekwondo into early childhood education and development programmes.

Abstract

Strength development in junior karate athletes is an important aspect because it plays a direct role in supporting performance, both during training and in competitions. However, the applied training pattern is often lacking in variety and is not optimally structured. This study aims to examine the effect of a six-week resistance training program on increasing muscle mass in junior karate athletes. The method used was an experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 15 athletes consisting of 8 boys and 7 girls aged 13–15 years. The treatment in the form of resistance training was carried out twice a week, with a training program that included two upper body movements (bench press and upper back row) and two lower body movements (squat and leg extension). The load used was more than 15 RM with a movement tempo of 2–8 seconds. Muscle mass measurements were taken before and after the intervention using the Karada Scan Omron HBF-701, then analyzed through a t-test with the help of SPSS Version 29. The results showed a significant increase in muscle mass of 9% after undergoing resistance training. These findings indicate that a systematically designed resistance training program can help junior karate athletes in increasing strength and speed. Thus, coaches are advised to integrate resistance training into their coaching programs to support the achievement of optimal performance.
