Abstract

Introduction: Caffeine is known as an ergogenic aid that can enhance sports performance by stimulating the central nervous system and reducing perceived fatigue. Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of caffeine consumption on increasing upper body power in wrestling athletes. Method: This research employed an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach on two groups: an intervention group (n=13) that consumed caffeine at a dose of 3–6 mg/kgBW and a control group (n=13) that consumed a placebo. Upper body power was measured using the chest medicine ball throw test, and the data were analyzed using paired t-tests to examine within-group differences and independent t-tests to compare between groups. Result: Paired t-test results showed a significant increase in power within both groups (p<0.05). However, independent t-test results indicated a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups (p = 0,002; p < 0,05), with the intervention group showing a greater increase in power. Conclusion: These findings suggest that caffeine consumption positively impacts the power performance of wrestling athletes. Based on this study, it is suggested that strategic caffeine supplementation may serve as a more effective approach in supporting overall athletic performance.

Abstract

blood pressure rises above the defined normal range. Although hypertension is commonly experienced by the elderly, it can also affect adults, including housewives. Several risk factors for hypertension among housewives include age, menopausal status, use of contraceptives, dietary patterns, nutritional status, physical activity, and others. The aim of this study is to analyze the determinant factors of hypertension among housewives. Method: The cross-sectional study approach was used in the research design. The location of Ciamis Regency was chosen because it has the highest cases of hypertension in West Java based on the Kemenkes in 2018. Proportionate stratified sampling was the method employed for sampling  with a total of 81 subjects in this study. Chi-square test was employed as the bivariate analysis. Result: The results show that there is a relationship between the variables nutritional status BMI (p-value = 0.016), abdominal circumference (p-value = 0.014), fat intake (p-value = 0.000), sodium intake (p-value = 0.006), and physical activity (p-value = 0.040). Conclusion: The incidence of hypertension in housewives is correlated with BMI, nutritional status, belly circumference, fat and sodium intake, and physical activity
