Abstract

Running is a sport that is often chosen by many people when they want to exercise. Both professional and amateur runners often experience musculoskeletal disorders such as knee, ankle, and hip pain due to repetitive mechanical stress, improper running technique, and the use of non-ergonomic footwear. In running, ergonomic interventions—including modifications to running posture, shoe selection, and corrective exercise programs — are considered important for injury prevention and performance enhancement, but their effectiveness varies across studies. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ergonomic interventions on musculoskeletal health and performance in runners. The Research methode with literature search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct databases (2020–2025) and yielded 37 articles. Of the screened articles, three studies met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed narratively, with risk of bias assessment performed using RoB 2 and ROBINS-I tools. The Result :. Interventions such as running style analysis, dynamic posture training, and the use of ergonomic shoes have been shown to reduce the prevalence of overuse injuries such as iliotibial band syndrome and plantar fasciitis. Several studies have also reported improvements in running efficiency, VO₂ max, and travel time. Runners who take an individualized ergonomic approach show faster injury recovery and higher performance consistency. Ergonomic interventions have been proven effective in reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and improving runners' performance. The recommendations that the author proposes for training management and athlete health are as follows: integrating neuromuscular strengthening exercises into running programs; optimizing training load regulation and recovery to prevent overtraining; utilizing technology-based psychological interventions to maintain motivation and training adherence; employing hypoxic training conditions or environmental simulations as physiological interventions; using wearable devices for real-time monitoring; and conducting regular physiological screenings as strategies for injury prevention and performance enhancement

Abstract

Technological developments have led to an increase in sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits, which can affect physical fitness and potentially disrupt students' health. This study aimed to assess the bioimpedance analysis characteristics of new students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sriwijaya. The method used was a descriptive observational approach with a quantitative design, involving 74 active students from the Faculty of Medicine. Research data were collected using electronic forms and a bioimpedance analyzer, then entered into Ms. Excel and analyzed for characteristics using SPSS. The results showed that the mean body mass index, calorie requirements, visceral fat, body age, and muscle mass were higher in male students, while the average elements of total fat and subcutaneous fat were higher in female students. As many as 26.9% of male students are classified as obese, and 23.1% have high visceral fat. As many as 42.3% of female students are classified as having very high total fat. Approximately 23.1% of male students have a high muscle mass. In conclusion, male and female students show varied bioimpedance analysis characteristics due to various influencing factors. This study highlights important notes to consider in maintaining students' physical fitness to prevent degenerative diseases. Perkembangan teknologi menimbulkan peningkatan gaya hidup sedentari dan pola makan tidak sehat, yang dapat mempengaruhi kebugaran tubuh dan berpotensi mengganggu kesehatan mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai karakteristik Bio Impedance Analysis mahasiswa baru Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sriwijaya. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif observasional dengan desain kuantitatif, yang diikuti oleh mahasiswa aktif Fakultas Kedokteran sebanyak 74 mahasiswa. Data penelitian dikumpulkan menggunakan formulir elektronik dan alat Bio Impedance Analyzer, lalu data dimasukkan ke dalam aplikasi Microsoft Excel dan dianalisis karakteristiknya menggunakan SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rerata elemen indeks massa tubuh, kebutuhan kalori, lemak viseral, usia tubuh dan massa otot lebih dominan pada mahasiswa laki-laki. Sedangkan rerata elemen lemak total dan lemak kulit lebih tinggi pada kelompok mahasiswa perempuan. Sebanyak 26,9% mahasiswa laki-laki memiliki status obesitas dan sebanyak 23,1% tergolong memiliki lemak viseral yang tinggi. Sebanyak 42,3% mahasiswa perempuan tergolong memiliki lemak total yang sangat tinggi. Sebanyak 23,1% mahasiswa laki-laki memiliki massa otot yang tergolong tinggi. Kesimpulannya, mahasiswa laki-laki dan perempuan menunjukkan karakteristik Bio Impedance Analysis yang bervariasi akibat berbagai faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, maka disarankan kepada mahasiswa untuk memonitor komposisi tubuh guna mencegah penyakit-penyakit degeneratif.
