Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between aerobic dance intensity and blood pressure reduction in active elderly women who routinely participate in community exercise programs. The research design used is correlational with a quantitative approach. The sample consists of members of the aerobic dance community in Taman Pakui Sayang (TPS), Makassar, comprising 20 elderly women aged 45–59 years who participate in aerobic dance at least twice a week for 8 weeks. Data were collected through blood pressure measurements before and after the intervention, as well as monitoring exercise intensity using the Borg RPE (Rating of Perceived Exertion) Scale. The results of the analysis showed a significant negative correlation between aerobic dance intensity and a decrease in systolic with r = -0.62; p = 0.001 and diastolic (r = -0.55; p = 0.004) blood pressure. These findings indicate that the higher the intensity of the exercise performed, the greater the decrease in blood pressure that occurs. Thus, moderate to high intensity aerobic dance can be an effective non-pharmacological strategy in the management of hypertension in elderly women.

Abstract

Lower Limb Lean Mass (LLLM) represents the fat-free muscle mass in the lower extremities, which plays a crucial role in generating explosive power. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between LLLM and lower-limb explosive power in sub-elite swimmers. Thirty-three athletes participated (22 males, 11 females; age 17.36 ± 1.55 years, height 164.3 ± 7.57 cm, body mass 56.39 ± 7.58 kg, BMI 20.84 ± 2.1 kg/m²). LLLM was assessed using an InBody 270 body composition analyzer, while explosive power was evaluated through the Countermovement Jump (CMJ) test with Force-decks. Results demonstrated significant correlations between LLLM and jump height (p = 0.001; r = 0.553), peak power (p = 0.001; r = 0.821), and takeoff peak force (p = 0.001; r = 0.805). These findings indicate that LLLM contributes substantially to explosive performance, particularly during the start and turn phases in swimming. Therefore, LLLM may serve as a functional indicator for monitoring and designing training programs to enhance swimmers explosive capacity.
