Abstract

Tourism is one of the pillars of the local economy in Indonesian society, and as such, this sector should receive special attention to maintain and develop it. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic disruption, leading to a prolonged crisis. Kembang Kuning Village in Boyolali is an example of a tourism industry that possesses natural and cultural resources, which could serve as capital to establish a tourist village but has been hindered by the pandemic. This mentoring activity aims to revitalize tourist villages by identifying their potential. The service method includes traning and education of SWOT analysis. The results of the service demonstrate that there are strategies that Kembang Kuning Village can implement to not only restore local residents' income from the tourism sector but also enhance the quality of the existing tourist villages.

Abstract

Decreased physical activity in the elderly can lead to an increase in uric acid levels. There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, therefore, the treatment provided can only minimize the impact of the disease and optimize health. Low impact aerobic exercise is a type of physical activity suitable for the elderly. This exercise has a low intensity and does not put pressure on the joints, making it safe for the elderly. The purpose of this community service is to reduce uric acid levels with low impact aerobic exercise as a non-pharmacological therapy in the community. This activity was carried out in the form of uric acid checks, health education about uric acid, and low impact aerobic exercise practice. Furthermore, the elderly were asked to undergo therapy at home for 4 weeks with 2 exercise sessions per week with a duration of 45 minutes each session, using a booklet guide. This activity showed success as evidenced by a decrease in uric acid levels. In addition, the results of interviews with the elderly also revealed that they rarely experienced joint pain and looked more cheerful.
