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

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh senam aerobik terhadap tumbuh kembang remaja usia 18–20 tahun, khususnya pada aspek kebugaran jasmani dan tingkat stres. Remaja pada fase ini berada pada masa transisi penting menuju dewasa awal, di mana mereka menghadapi tantangan biologis, psikologis, dan sosial yang kompleks. Aktivitas fisik, khususnya senam aerobik, diyakini dapat menjadi strategi efektif dalam mendukung keseimbangan perkembangan tersebut. Metode penelitian menggunakan desain quasi-eksperimen dengan model one group pre-test post-test design. Subjek penelitian adalah 36 mahasiswa perempuan berusia 18–20 tahun dari FIKK UNM, yang mengikuti program senam aerobik selama 8 minggu dengan frekuensi 3 kali per minggu dan durasi 50 menit setiap sesi. Intensitas latihan ditetapkan pada 50–75% HRmax. Instrumen pengukuran meliputi beep test untuk estimasi VO₂max dan kuesioner Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) untuk tingkat stres. Analisis data menggunakan uji paired sample t-test dengan taraf signifikansi α = 0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada VO₂max (t = 5,963; p < 0,001) dan penurunan signifikan pada skor PSS (t = –4,062; p < 0,001). Dengan demikian, senam aerobik terbukti tidak hanya memperbaiki aspek fisiologis berupa kebugaran jasmani, tetapi juga memberikan manfaat psikologis berupa penurunan tingkat stres. Temuan ini memperkuat bukti empiris bahwa senam aerobik layak dijadikan program intervensi kesehatan preventif dan promotif bagi remaja.

Abstract

Innovation in sports learning is increasingly important to enhance athlete performance through advanced technologies and personalized training methods. Research in this area explores effective strategies to integrate technology for optimized sports education. This study aims to investigate the role and impact of technology-based innovations in sports learning to improve athlete performance. The study employed a library research approach, which involves systematically collecting and analyzing existing literature, journals, and academic sources related to sports learning innovation. Library research enables a comprehensive review of current knowledge and trends without new experimental data collection. Findings indicate that technological tools such as video analysis to virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and mobile applications significantly enhance athletes learning experiences and performance outcomes by enabling personalized and accessible training. The integration of technology also fosters interactive and immersive learning environments supporting better skill acquisition and motivation. The study highlights the necessity of adopting innovative technological methods in sports education to meet athletes individual needs and improve training effectiveness. It also emphasizes library research as a critical method to synthesize existing knowledge for advancing sports learning innovation. However, challenges such as the availability and accessibility of technology and complex data management still need to be addressed. Thus, technology will continue to drive progress in sports training and help athletes and coaches in the future.
