Abstract

Lack of physical activity is one of the behaviors associated with non-communicable diseases. Physical activity levels decreased among individuals aged ten and above in South Kalimantan. The proportion of this problem also increased sharply in Banjar Regency. Discussions with the school showed that students at the school lacked physical activity. Nutrition education regarding physical activity has never been conducted at this school. This activity aimed to increase adolescents’ knowledge about the importance of physical activity in preventing obesity. It was conducted at Islamic Senior High School 4 Banjar, involving 67 members of the Youth Red Cross. Nutrition education was performed through lectures using PowerPoint slides. Participants' knowledge was assessed using pretest and posttest questionnaires. There was a significant knowledge difference (p<0.05) before and after the education. A total of 61 people had a higher score than before the education. A total of 52.2% of participants had poor knowledge, and 47.8% had moderate knowledge before education. After education, 58.2% had high knowledge, 38.8% had moderate knowledge, and 3% had low knowledge. It indicated that nutrition education is effective in increasing participants' knowledge.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine whether physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQL) are associated in apparently healthy older adults. The study design was a cross-sectional study. Measurements were obtained from 164 community-dwelling older adults (52 men and 112 women; 70±8 years, mean±SD), selected using a convenience sampling technique from a community health center in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected using a medical history questionnaire, HRQL from the Medical Outcomes Survey short form-36 questionnaire, and physical activity level from the Johnson Space Center physical activity scale. Subjects were separated into low (n=70) and high (n=94) physical activity groups according to the physical activity scale. The higher physical activity group had significantly higher HRQL scores across all eight domains (p<0.05). Compared with the less active group, the more active group had a lower prevalence of hypertension (52% vs. 71%, p=0.030), fewer women (49% vs. 63%, p=0.036), physical function (81±21 vs. 69±20, p=0.031), role physical (82±33 vs. 62±35, p=0.022), vitality (73±16 vs. 60±15, p=0.001), social function (91±19 vs. 84±20, p=0.044), and bodily pain (83±24 vs. 67±22, p=0.001). The two groups did not differ (p>0.05) in terms of mental health, role emotional, or general health. HRQL scores in both physical and mental domains were higher in healthy older adults who consistently engaged in moderate-intensity physical exercise for more than 1 hour per week compared to those who were less physically active. Because this study used a cross-sectional design, these associations should not be interpreted as causal; nevertheless, older adults who are less active or only moderately active may benefit from increasing their physical activity levels to improve their HRQL

Abstract

Cortisol is one of the most commonly used stress biomarkers. Stress and depression are increasing in young people, especially among college students, especially medical students. Physical activity has been recommended for stress and depression relief, but its effect on cortisol has not been confirmed. This study aims to analyze cortisol measurements for stress, depression, their physical activity among medical student. This literature search utilized PubMed and Google Scholar, combining the keywords "cortisol", "stress", “depression”, “physical activity”, and "medical student" in publications from 2010 to 2025. Ten (10) studies that met our criteria. Most studies use saliva cortisol measurement to assess stress conditions. Our findings suggest cortisol as a measure of stress in medical students, but its contribution to the development of stress and depression remains unclear. There is no correlation between physical activity and cortisol in stress condition. Cortisol measurements can provide an objective test and reflect stress in medical students, but they do not adequately assess acute and stress-related cortisol release. Further studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of cortisol measurements.

Abstract

Population aging has become a major public health concern due to the increasing prevalence of functional decline, sleep disturbances, and reduced psychological well-being among older adults. Regular physical activity is recognized as an effective strategy for healthy aging, yet more than a quarter of adults worldwide remain insufficiently active, and many older adults cannot tolerate moderate- or vigorous-intensity exercise (Guthold et al., 2018). Zone Zero Exercise, a low-intensity exercise program emphasizing controlled movement, breathing regulation, and body relaxation, has emerged as a promising alternative. This study aimed to examine the impact of Zone Zero Exercise on quality of life, sleep quality, and self-confidence among community-dwelling older adults.: This observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 80 older adults recruited from community exercise groups in Wonogiri Regency, Indonesia. Quality of life, sleep quality, and self-confidence were assessed using the ICECAP-O, the Sleep Condition Indicator (SCI), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), respectively. Data normality and homogeneity were assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk and Levene’s tests. Comparative analyses were conducted using paired-sample t-tests, and Pearson correlation analysis evaluated associations among study variables. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Participants had a mean age of 67.82 ± 5.91 years, with females accounting for 61.2% of the sample. Following participation in Zone Zero Exercise, significant improvements were observed in quality of life (61.42 ± 8.35 vs. 71.86 ± 7.41; p < 0.001), sleep quality (18.57 ± 4.62 vs. 24.91 ± 3.95; p < 0.001), and self-confidence (24.85 ± 3.98 vs. 30.17 ± 3.42; p < 0.001), with large effect sizes (Cohen’s d = 1.04–1.21). Positive correlations were identified between quality of life and sleep quality (r = 0.692), quality of life and self-confidence (r = 0.641), and sleep quality and self-confidence (r = 0.587) (all p < 0.001). Zone Zero Exercise was associated with significant improvements in quality of life, sleep quality, and self-confidence among older adults. Its low-intensity, safe, and accessible characteristics make it a promising community-based intervention to support healthy aging.
