Abstract

Background: Cognitive processes, specifically spatial abilities, are responsible for integration of daily activities. Many factors contribute to the plasticity of the brain which, furthermore, alter the spatial ability. Physical activity, which can be further grouped into sport and exercise, is a modifiable factor that enhances the cognitive processes through a divergent mechanism. This study aimed to gain further understanding on whether sport differs from exercise in altering spatial ability in athletes and non-athletes.Methods: This observational study compared the spatial ability score of athletes of Indonesia National Sport Comitte (Komite Olahraga Nasional Indonesia, KONI) in West Java (n= 21) and non-athletes (n= 21). Sampling were performed using stratified random technique and data were collected between August and October 2015 which included spatial scores and demographic of subjects.Results: The difference in spatial scores between athletes and non-athletes were not significant (p=0.432).Conclusions: This study suggests an insignificant difference in spatial ability in athletes performing sport and non-athletes performing exercise. Hence, the cognitive component skills in sport experience do not alter the spatial ability. [AMJ.2016;3(4):533–7] DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n4.934

Abstract

Background: Human activity is largely related to thought processing or cognition. One of the most important components of cognition is memory. Individuals who undergo heavy activities, such as athletes, use a lot of memory in the subject’s activities, especially during competitions. The purpose of this study was to find out whether there was a correlation between the capability of short term memory with the performance of an athlete during a competition, especially those measured by achievements.Methods: This study was an analytic observational correlation study with a cross-sectional design and involved 201 athletes as respondents from 12 branches of sports. The study was conducted in the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) building from September to November 2015. Digit Span Forward and Backward were used to collect short term memory data and was performed after a consent form and the respondent’s identity was recorded. The athlete’s achievements data was gathered by an interview and recapitulation of athlete’s achievements in the last five years.Results: OA total of 186 data was analyzed and found a negative and  insignificant correlation between achievement and short-term memory based on digit span tests both forward (r=0.095 p=0.196) and backward(r=0.039 p=0.196). Conclusions: There is no correlation between short term memory and the achievements of an athlete.

Abstract

Background: Senior High Schools with Rintisan Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional (RSBI) scheme are senior high schools that pilot international standards in learning methods and high curriculum targets. This factor may lead to a rise of anxiety amongst students, both for students in Natural Sciences major and Social Studies major. There are three factors which cause anxiety in the school environment, namely: dissatisfaction towards the curriculum, the teacher, and the school management.Methods: This study used retrospective cohort design. Subjects were selected using the convenience sampling method. Natural Sciences students (n=32) and Social Studies students (n=14) had their anxiety level measured using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale. The dissatisfaction towards the school environment factors was assessed using a school evaluation questionnaire.Results: The anxiety measurement showed that students in both Natural Sciences and Social Studies major experienced severe anxiety (Natural Sciences vs. Social Studies: 75% vs. 86%). The study results based on the school evaluation questionnaire showed dissatisfactions towards the three school environmental factors (curriculum factor, Natural Sciences vs. Social Studies: 59% vs. 64%; teacher factor, Natural Sciences vs. Social Studies: 3% vs. 43%; school management factor, Natural Sciences vs. Social Studies: 3% vs. 14%). The chi-square test results showed that the difference in the anxiety levels between the students of Natural Sciences and Social Studies majors was insignificant (p>0.05).Conclusions: Students of Natural Sciences and Social Studies majors of senior high schools with RSBI scheme experienced severe anxiety. However, there is no strong evidence that the school environment causes this severe anxiety. Keywords: Anxiety Level, Natural Sciences, Senior High School with RSBI Scheme, School Environment Factors, Social Studies Perbedaan Tingkat Kecemasan antara Siswa Kelas Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Siswa Kelas Sosial Berdasarkan Faktor Lingkungan Sekolah di Sekolah Menengah Atas Rintisan Sekolah Bertaraf InternasionalLatar Belakang: Sekolah Menengah Atas Rintisan Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional (SMA RSBI) adalah sekolah menengah atas yang menggunakan standar internasional dalam metode pembelajaran dan kurikulum.  Faktor ini dapat menyebabkan kenaikan kecemasan di kalangan siswa, baik bagi siswa kelas Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan siswa kelas Ilmu Sosial.

Abstract

Background: Concentration is one of the components of cognitive function, which is important for athletes in all sport branches. Every branch of sports has their own different characteristics, body contact or non-body contact, seen from the aspects of game activity that have direct or indirect physical contact, rules of the sports, behavior of the athlete and psychological demands. Basically, both sports branches need good level of concentration in order to display their best performance. The study aimed to determine the difference of concentration level between athletes of body contact and non-body contact sports. Methods: This study was an analytic observational study with cross-sectional design, conducted in the Indonesian National Sport Committee (Komite Olahraga Nasional Indonesia, KONI) Secretary Office in September 2015. Primary data were taken using the instrumental concentration test namely Grid Concentration Test. One hundred ninety three athletes were obtained and grouped in body contact (111 athletes) and non-body contact sports (82 athletes). Statistical analysis was performed using the non-parametric test of Mann-Whitney.Results: The result showed that the difference in the athlete’s concentration level between body contact and non-body contact sports was not significant (p=0.151). Nevertheless, the data collection of this study showed that body contact sports had a better concentration level than non-body contact sports however the data was not statistically significant.Conclusions: There is no significant difference in concentration level between athletes of body contact and non-body contact sports.

Abstract

Background: Children with Down syndrome are more prone to congenital heart disease due to the consequences of trisomy chromosomal 21 on gene expression. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of congenital heart disease in children with Down syndrome. Methods: This was a retrospective study of reviewed children with Down syndrome from January 2008 to January 2013 at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia. This study was conducted from August until October 2014. Patients under the age of 15 years and diagnosed having congenital heart disease from 2008 to 2013 were enrolled in this study by using the total sampling method. Incomplete medical records and children who had not performed an echocardiogram were excluded. Sex, age at diagnosis for congenital heart disease, nutritional status and other comorbidities were also examined.Results: Congenital heart disease occurred in 28 children with Down Syndrome. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was the most common and found in 11 patients followed by a combination of congenital heart diseases in 5 patients. Other 3 patients had Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), and Tetralogy of fallot (TOF) was found in 3 patients, 2 patients had Atrial septal defect (ASD) and 1 patient had miscellaneous cardiac defect.Conclusions: The most common CHD in Down syndrome is PDA.

Abstract

Background: Long-term insufficient nutritional needs will directly impact on the development and maturation of brain function. Disruption of development and maturation process in the brain is associated with decreased cognitive abilities. Frequently, the effect of long-term nutritional insufficiency has also height deficits called stunting.This study aimed to compare the short-term memory between stunted and non-stunted groups.Methods: A comparative study was conducted on 30 children in a non stunted group and 30 children in a stunted group. Children in both groups were selected from one of the elementary schools in Jatinangor using the simple random sampling method toward 3–5 for grade and 8–10 for age groups. The measurement of memory aspects for short-term memory used the Digit Span Test (forward and backward) and Simbol Modality Test. Results: The collected data were in normal and not normal distribution because the statistical test  used the independent-t test and Mann-Whitney. The mean memory score comparison between group 1 and group 2 on Digit Span Test Forward was 5.33:5.33 (p=0.994), Digit Span test Backward was 2.73:2.60 (p=0.440), and Symbol Modality Test was 20.90:19.60 (p=0.347).Conclusions: There is no significant difference in short-term memory between stunted and non–stunted groups, due to some confounding factors such as, environmental aspect, parent’s education level, socioeconomic, and genetic factors.

Abstract

The decrease of physical fitness contributes to the morbidity and mortality rates of elderlies. Physical fitness of a person aged 60 years is determined by the level of physical fitness examined through a six minute test. Efforts to improve physical fitness level through sport are needed, one of which is Senam Jantung Sehat Seri-I (Healthy Heart Gymnastics Series-I) with the accurate exercise frequency. The purpose of this study was to analyze the frequency of Senam Jantung Sehat Seri-I that could improve cardiorespiratory fitness in elderlies. This study used pre-experimental method with pre-test and post-test design approach involving 27 healthy elderlies who followed a routine Senam Jantung Sehat Seri-I exercise at the Nursing Home. The research subjects were divided into 3 groups based on the frequency of gymnastics activity per week including 3, 4, and 5 times a week for 6 weeks. Improved physical fitness was determined through the distance traveled by the participants on the 6-minute test at week 1 and week 6. The traveled distance difference was analyzed by using Independent t-test with a p-value 0.05. The elderly group who did Senam Jantung Sehat Seri-I three times a week had a significant mean difference (-106.0; p = 0.009), while groups who performed 4 and 5 times a week exercises did not show significant results. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that Senam Jantung Sehat Seri-I three times a week could improve cardiorespiratory fitness.
