Abstract

The number of elderly people worldwide is estimated to increase by 56% between 2015 and 2030. In Indonesia, the number of elderly people is estimated to increase by 23.66 million people, and is expected to continue to increase until 2035. Impaired cognitive function is one of the most common symptoms in the elderly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2017 there were 47 million people worldwide who experienced impaired cognitive function. Therefore, appropriate treatment is needed to improve the cognitive function of the elderly. Due to impaired cognitive function, a person becomes dependent on other people to care for themselves. To overcome this cognitive function disorder, it is necessary to carry out community service activities (PKM) in the form of outreach to the community about the importance of Pilates training for the elderly with the aim of overcoming cognitive function disorders in the elderly. Pilates exercise combines strength, flexibility and balance. Pilates exercise is a sport that focuses on lumbo-pelvic stabilization and activation of other body muscles. The methods applied in this activity are lectures, discussions and demonstrations of Pilates exercises and evaluation. Based on the results of the evaluation carried out, this socialization activity shows positive and satisfying benefits for the elderly where the elderly's understanding of Pilates exercises has improved. Previously they felt the exercises were very heavy and difficult to implement, but after doing them it turned out that these exercises were very interesting and easy to do. In fact, most of the elderly show a very high desire to continue to learn more and practice these exercises. Overall, this socialization activity received a positive response from the elderly, so it is hoped that it can encourage and motivate the elderly to independently carry out this exercise, considering that Pilates training is very useful in improving cognitive function. By increasing the understanding and interest of the elderly in this exercise, the elderly can develop this exercise on an ongoing basis, both individually and in groups, in order to maintain, develop and improve the cognitive function of the elderly so as to achieve the quality of society in general.

Abstract

Background: Physical, mental, and social well-being is defined as a condition that enables individuals to live a productive life. Exercise helps maintain health and enhances both physical and mental fitness. Volleyball, a physical sport that is increasingly popular in Indonesia, requires several physical attributes such as speed, explosive power, and agility to perform well. Sports are an effective way to maintain optimal physical and mental condition, while also fostering character, discipline, and sportsmanship. Volleyball continues to grow in popularity in Indonesia and is played at various levels of competition. The physical performance of volleyball athletes is crucial to achieving high performance, thus requiring specific training methods to improve physical attributes such as speed, power, and agility. Plyometric depth jump and plyometric box jump are two common forms of plyometric training used to improve lower limb muscle strength. However, despite the widespread application of plyometric training, the comparative effectiveness of various training methods in enhancing lower limb strength still requires further investigation. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the effects of plyometric depth jump exercise and plyometric box jump exercise on increasing leg muscle strength in volleyball athletes. Methods: This study uses an experimental approach with a two-group pre-test and post-test design. A total of 12 selected volleyball athletes participated in a training program using either plyometric depth jump exercise or plyometric box jump exercise over a specific period. Leg muscle strength was measured using a leg dynamometer before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test to determine the difference in the effect of plyometric depth jump exercise and plyometric box jump exercise on improving leg muscle strength of Diamond Medan volleyball athletes in 2024. Results and Discussion: The results of data analysis showed a significant increase in leg muscle strength after the intervention in both the plyometric depth jump exercise group and the plyometric box jump exercise group, with the simple paired t-test showing a p-value = 0.000 (<0.05). However, based on the independent t-test, a p-value of 0.326 (>0.05) was obtained, indicating that there was no significant difference between the two training methods in improving leg muscle strength. Conclusion: Both plyometric depth jump exercise and plyometric box jump exercise have an effect on increasing leg muscle strength in volleyball athletes. However, no significant difference was found between the two interventions in their effect on improving leg muscle strength

Abstract

Background: Falls are a common health challenge experienced by the elderly and can significantly affect their quality of life. The leading causes of falls include decreased trunk muscle strength and disturbances in the vestibular system. Ironically, many older adults are unaware that these risks can be reduced through simple and regular physical activity. Therefore, interventions in the form of education and structured exercise, delivered directly at the community level, are considered a strategic approach to promote preventive behavior. Objective: This Community Partnership Program (PKM) aimed to  improve the knowledge, practical skills, and motivation of elderly individuals in preventing fall risks through trunk muscle exercises and Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises. Method: The activity was conducted at Pagar Jati Public Health Center, Lubuk Pakam, involving 20 elderly participants. It consisted of two main sessions: an educational session covering the causes of falls, the role of trunk muscles, and the body's balance system; and a practical session where participants performed both exercises under the guidance of the implementation team. Evaluation was carried out through initial discussions, observation of participant engagement, and a simple pre-test and post-test. Results: The program showed a significant impact. A total of 85% of participants demonstrated improved understanding of fall risk and its prevention, 78% were able to perform the exercises correctly, and 90% expressed a commitment to continue the exercises independently at home. Participant satisfaction reached 92%. The elderly showed high enthusiasm throughout the activity, with many stating that this was the first time they realized the importance of light exercises in maintaining balance. Conclusion: This activity successfully enhanced the cognitive and motor skills of elderly participants in fall prevention. The combination of trunk muscle exercises and Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises proved effective in improving postural control, vestibular adaptation, and overall body stability. This hands-on approach is highly effective and recommended for sustainable implementation within community-based health promotion and prevention programs for the elderly.

Abstract

Background: Neck pain in Cervical Root Syndrome (CRS) is caused by compression of cervical nerve roots due to trauma (e.g., whiplash injury), chronic forward head posture, or overuse. This condition radiates pain from the neck to peripheral innervated areas. McKenzie cervical exercise (extension movement) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) are interventions with potential to reduce pain through muscle strengthening and pain modulation mechanisms. Objective: To analyze the effect of combined McKenzie exercise and TENS on pain reduction in CRS patients at RS Grandmed Lubuk Pakam in 2025. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 20 CRS patients. The intervention consisted of McKenzie exercise (cervical extension movements) and TENS (frequency 80–100 Hz, sensory intensity) administered twice weekly for 4 weeks (8 sessions). Pain was measured using a 0–10 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test (α = 0.05). Results: The mean pre-intervention pain score was 7.23 ± 1.245 (severe pain category), while the post-intervention score was 2.92 ± 1.256 (mild pain category). Statistical analysis revealed a significant reduction in pain (t = 19.23; df = 19; p < 0.001). Conclusion: The combination of McKenzie exercise and TENS significantly reduces pain (p < 0.001) in CRS patients. This intervention is recommended as a non-invasive modality for managing cervical pain.
