Abstract

Background: Aging is associated with declining physical health and decreased quality of life in the elderly population. In response to the rising challenges faced by the aging demographic, this study aimed to investigate the effects of low-impact aerobic exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness and overall quality of life in the elderly. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was employed involving 42 elderly participants who underwent a three-month low-impact aerobic exercise intervention. This study was conducted in the work area of the Surakarta City Health Service from June to August 2023. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using the Harvard Step Test, and quality of life was assessed through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. The effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life was analyzed using the non-parametric test Wilcoxon Test.Results: Most respondents were aged 60–65 years (66.7%) and female (71.5%). The study revealed a significant improvement in both cardiorespiratory fitness (p=0.025) and quality of life (p<0.000) among the elderly participants after low-impact aerobic exercise intervention.Conclusion: Low-impact aerobic exercise has an effect on increasing cardiorespiratory fitness and  quality of life in the elderly. This finding is expected to be one of the main therapies that can help maintain the health and well-being of the geriatric population.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a common health issue with a high prevalence in the population, including in rural areas. This study aims to explore the relationship between lower limb muscle flexibility, measured using the Sit and Reach Test (SART), and the level of disability due to LBP, assessed through the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (OLBPDQ), among 92 respondents in Adikarso Village, Kebumen. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between limited muscle flexibility and the level of disability due to LBP (p = 0.04). Respondents with low flexibility (<8 cm) tended to experience LBP with severe disability (41%-60%), while better flexibility (9-16 cm) was associated with moderate to minimal disability. These findings underscore the importance of muscle flexibility in the prevention and management of LBP and support a multidisciplinary approach that includes improving flexibility, physical activity, and lifestyle modifications to reduce the burden of LBP and enhance quality of life.

Abstract

Health services for the elderly group need to be carried out according to their needs. To understand the health needs of the elderly group, it is necessary to examine the number of cases or prevalence of a case that is a problem for the elderly. Decreased physical functional activity in the elderly is a problem that is often encountered and due to degenerative diseases. Decreased physical functional activity in the elderly results in an increased risk of disability. There have been no reports regarding the number of cases of the elderly who experience decreased physical functional activity, the number of cases or prevalence of decreased physical functional activity in the elderly. The study used descriptive quantitative research method with a cross-sectional research design. The subjects of the study were elderly people aged 60-70 years who had no history of musculoskeletal injury/trauma and did not use walking aids. The research instrument used to measure the decline in functional activity was the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE). The assessment results showed that 46 elderly people (76.7%) were in the category of low physical functional activity and 14 elderly people (23.3%) had good functional activity. The female elderly group consisted of 28 (75.7%) who had lower scores compared to male elderly. The 60-70 age group consisted of 30 elderly (78.9%) had a lower PASE score compared to the 71-80 age group. The housewife occupation group consisted of 22 elderly people (75.9%) had lower scores compared to the entrepreneur, laborer and retiree groups. The number of cases of decreased physical functional activity in the elderly is 46 individuals or 76.7%. The decline in physical functional activity was influenced by age, gender and occupation. To further explore the factors that influence the decline in physical functional activity.

Abstract

Background Low birth weight (LBW) children are at risk of developmental delay, including impaired motor skills, cognitive function, and stress regulation. Brain Gym® activities have been shown to improve motor coordination, attention span, and fine motor skills in preschool and primary school-aged children. Evidence for the use of Brain Gym® is limited for infants and toddlers with medical vulnerabilities such as low birth weight (LBW), who are at increased risk of developmental delay and heightened stress sensitivity. Objective To evaluate the impact of Brain Gym® exercises on cognitive function, motor skills (fine and gross motor), and cortisol levels in children aged 12–23 months with a history of LBW compared to a control group. Methods  A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in Sragen, Indonesia, involving 80 low birth weight (LBW) children aged 12 to 23 months. Participants were randomly allocated into two groups: an experimental group receiving Brain Gym® intervention and a control group.The experimental group received Brain Gym® exercises combined with routine baby massage, while the control group received only baby massage. Cognitive and motor development were assessed using the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST), while stress biomarkers were measured through salivary cortisol levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Assessments were conducted at baseline (pre-intervention) and after the 8-week intervention period. The evaluators who administered the DDST and laboratory staff analyzing cortisol were blinded to group allocation. Results The primary outcomes of this study were motor skills, cortisol levels, and cognitive function. At baseline, there were no significant differences between the Brain Gym® group and the control group in fine motor, gross motor, or cognitive function scores, as assessed by the DDST. After the intervention, between-group comparisons revealed no statistically significant differences in gross motor, fine motor, cortisol, or cognitive function outcomes. Within-group analysis showed that gross motor scores in the Brain Gym® group significantly increased after the intervention (P = 0.038), while fine motor scores demonstrated a non-significant trend toward improvement (P = 0.110). Cortisol levels in the Brain Gym® group significantly decreased (P = 0.009), whereas the control group exhibited no significant changes in gross motor (P = 0.548), fine motor, or cortisol levels (P = 0.118). Cognitive function scores remained statistically unchanged in both groups. Conclusion Our findings suggest that Brain Gym® exercises can improve gross motor function and reduce stress in LBW children. These findings highlight the potential of early interventions in enhancing development, but should be interpreted cautiously due to the modest sample size and short intervention period. Future studies should focus on the long-term effects and the mechanisms underlying these improvements.
