Abstract

Background: The existence of this muscle shortening is often found in students, who rarely exercise because of a lack of awareness to move. If it occurs continuously, it will result in a decrease in functional movement and muscle shortening, especially in the hamstring muscles. Methods: At the Ministry of Health Surakarta 2020 Polytechnic, this study used student subjects aged 15 to 23 years with overweight conditions and functional impairment of the hamstrings. This research (sapphire walk test) was a study with a two-group treatment design and a pre-and post-test design. analyzed the data to find out the difference between pre-and post-test group 1 (tapping and PIR) using a paired t-test and group 2 (tapping and RI) using a pre-and post-Wilcoxon test because the data distribution was not normal on the VAS (Visual Analog Scale) values and the test t is paired because the data distribution is normal on the value of the BSSNRT (back saver sit and reach test). Results: Administration of neuromuscular taping and post-isometric relaxation and neuromuscular taping and reciprocal inhibition both had a good effect on reducing pain (p = 0.863). and both had a good effect on increasing hamstring flexibility in overweight adolescents (p = 0.786). Conclusion: The clinical implications that can be applied from this study are that there are different effects of neuromuscular taping and post-isometric relaxation with neuromuscular taping and reciprocal inhibition in reducing pain and increasing hamstring flexibility in overweight adolescents. This is an effective intervention option for overweight adolescents with impaired hamstring function.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus, or ‘sugar diabetes’, is a chronic, lifelong condition. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by genetic factors, insulin resistance, and environmental factors such as obesity, an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, stress and ageing. Therefore, the purpose of this community service activity is to provide physiotherapy counselling in cases of Type II Diabetes Mellitus through physical exercise programs for the elderly at the Elderly Posyandu in Colomadu District. Methods: This community service activity applied an educational and exercise training approach for elderly Posyandu cadres in Colomadu District, Karanganyar Regency, from April to October 2025. The program included health education on Type II Diabetes Mellitus and diabetes exercise training consisting of warm-up, core, and cool-down sessions. Evaluation was conducted through observation of participants’ understanding and exercise performance. Results: The community service project demonstrated a clear transition in participant outcomes. While the initial assessment showed a low level,  post-intervention results showed improved knowledge and practical skills among posyandu cadres regarding diabetes prevention through physical activity, with correct performance of diabetes exercise increasing from 21.4% (3/14 cadres) before training to 92.9% (13/14 cadres) after training.  Conclusion: Diabetes exercise education improved participants’ knowledge and skills in performing appropriate physical activity for managing Type II Diabetes Mellitus. Regular exercise may help control blood glucose levels and improve physical fitness among elderly individuals.
