Abstract

Health and fitness for the elderly is important in maintaining their quality of life and independence. This community service activity aimed to increase cadres' knowledge about health and fitness for the elderly at Posyandu Lansia. Posyandu cadres are important in providing information and health services for the elderly. Through structured training and education, it is hoped that cadres better understand and implement optimal health practices for the elderly. The methods used counselling sessions, material discussions, assisting cadres in providing physical exercise to improve physical fitness, assisting cadres in carrying out elderly fitness checks using the six-minute walking test (6MWT), as well as pre-post tests to determine the success of cadres' understanding, about the material that has been given. The activity results showed a significant increase in cadres' knowledge regarding the fitness and health aspects of the elderly, with the average score on the pre-test being 65,625 to 90 on the post-test. In addition, cadres reported increased confidence in providing physical exercise education to the elderly and measuring physical fitness with the 6MWT. In conclusion, this training program effectively increases the knowledge and capacity of cadres, which can contribute to improving the quality of life of elderly people in elderly communities. This service activity recommends implementing similar programs in other posyandu to improve the fitness and health of the elderly at large.

Abstract

Postural balance is a crucial aspect of daily life that enables individuals to move with stability and safety. Children with Down Syndrome (DS) often experience balance disorders due to cognitive function limitations that affect their motor abilities. This study aims to explore the relationship between cognitive function and balance in children with DS. Cognitive impairments, including memory deficits, attention difficulties, and executive function challenges, can impact a child's ability to control posture and perform motor activities effectively. Additionally, difficulties in movement coordination and sensorimotor responses contribute to poor balance abilities. Understanding the connection between cognitive function and balance can facilitate the implementation of appropriate interventions, such as physical therapy and cognitive stimulation, to improve the quality of life of children with DS. A holistic approach is essential in supporting the development of children with DS to help them achieve greater independence. Parents and families play a vital role in actively participating in the growth and development of children with DS, ensuring that their cognitive function and balance are maintained and enhanced. Consequently, children with DS can become more independent and socially engaged, enabling them to interact with others and build healthy social relationships.
