Abstract

Menstrual pain has a significant impact on teenage girls as it disrupts their daily activities. Dysmenorrhea that often occurs in adolescents is primary dysmenorrhea, which is menstrual pain that occurs after the first few years of menstruation. One of the exercises that can be used to alleviate dysmenorrhea is gymnastics.Research Objective: To determine the effect of AMIRKAN exercise on the reduction of menstrual pain in junior high school students in Labuapi District. This type of research is pre-experimental with a one group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study consists of all seventh and eighth-grade female students from each school: SMPN 1 Labuapi with 134 students, SMPN 2 Labuapi with 134 students, and SMPN 3 Labuapi with 137 students. The sampling technique was based on calculations using Proportional Random Sampling according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, totaling 100 students. Data analysis used the chi-square test. The research shows that the Amirkan exercise (anti-dysmenorrhea for adolescents through movement) has an effect on reducing dysmenorrhea pain levels among seventh and eighth-grade female students at junior high schools in Labuapi District. The Amirkan exercise intervention, performed regularly 2-3 days before menstruation, can stretch the abdominal and pelvic muscles, making it a potential effort to reduce menstrual pain.

Abstract

Low back pain is often experienced by pregnant women, especially during the third trimester, due to changes in posture, weight gain, and stretching of muscles and ligaments during pregnancy. The percentage of this complaint increases from 16% in early pregnancy to 67% at 24 weeks and peaks at 93% at 36 weeks. Various non-medical approaches have been implemented to address this complaint, including prenatal yoga and prenatal exercise. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of prenatal yoga and prenatal exercise in reducing low back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester. This study used a quantitative method with a two-group quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 40 pregnant women in their third trimester selected using purposive sampling and divided into two groups: the prenatal yoga group and the prenatal exercise group, each with 20 respondents. The intervention was provided twice a week for 60 minutes each session under the guidance of an experienced instructor and supported by leaflets and videos. The level of low back pain was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data analysis was performed using a dependent t-test followed by an independent t-test. The results showed that both prenatal yoga and prenatal exercise were equally effective in reducing low back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester (p=0.001; p<0.05). However, there was a significant difference in effectiveness between the two interventions (p=0.000; p<0.05), with prenatal yoga providing a greater reduction in pain. These findings suggest that prenatal yoga is more effective than prenatal exercise in reducing low back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester because it combines stretching, relaxation, breathing control, and muscle strengthening exercises that support postural stability during pregnancy
