Abstract

Background: Flexibility plays an important role for athletes, especially football players. The greater a person's level of muscle flexibility, the lower the risk of injury. Jack Knife Stretching (JKS) and Myofascial Decompression (MD) are treatments that help promote flexibility, particularly for the hamstring muscles. This study aimed to eaxamine the effect of Jack Knife Stretching and Myofascial Decompression in enhancing hamstring muscular flexibility in futsal players.Subjects and Method: This was a randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted at the Kendal Football Club, Kendal, Central Java, Indonesiea, on June 2023. A sample of 20 football players was selected and divided into two groups randomly. The dependent variable was hamstring muscle flexibility. The independent variables were Jack knife stretching and myofascial decompression. Hamstring muscle flexibility was examined using V sit and reach test. Data were compared using independent t test.Results: Before intervention, hamstring muscle flexibility score between groups were comparable (p= 0.708). After intervention, hamstring muscle flexibility score in the MD group (Mean= 22.41; SD= 0.61) was higher than JKS group (Mean= 20.42; SD= 1.36), and it was statistically significant (p= 0.026).Conclusion: Myofascial decompression is more effective to increase hamstring muscle flexibility than Jack knife stretching. Keyword: muscle flexibility, Jack knife stretching, myofascial decompression

Abstract

Background: Menstrual pain, or dysmenorrhoea, is common in young women worldwide under 25 years old. Elevated levels of prostaglandins in menstrual fluid induce contractions in the myometrium, leading to a decrease in uterine blood flow and resulting in uterine hypoxia. This hypoxia is the underlying cause of the painful cramping observed in primary dysmenorrhea. Massage is a non-pharmaceutical therapy that is hypothesized to be easily adoptable, with no side effects, and to have beneficial effects on pain. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of effluerage massage in reducing menstrual pain in female students. Subjects and Method: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Junior High School 23 of Surakarta in July 2023. Total sample of 50 2nd grade female student was selected by purposive sampling and divided into two groups. Intervention  group received effluerage massage and control group received usual care. The dependent variable was menstrual pain. The independent variable was effleurage massage. Menstrual pain was measured using Numeric Ranting Scale (NRS). Pain difference between groups after intervention was examined using independent t test. Results: At the 6th follow-up period, the mean of menstrual pain score in the effleurage massage group (Mean 3.52; SD= 1.01) was significantly lower compared to the control group (Mean= 4.40; SD= 0.76), with a p-value of 0.001. Conclusion: Effleurage massage is effective to reduce menstrual pain in Junior High School female students. Keywords: effleurage massage, primary dysmenorrhea, menstrual pain, female adolescents

Abstract

Background: Wounds are skin disorders in the form of damage to continuity due to a pathological process, if not treated properly it can cause serious complications such as failure to heal and chronic problems due to untreated wound infections, especially post-operative infections and scar tissue. The next problem is that excessive antibiotics can cause side effects and increase the risk of antimicrobial resistance and delay wound healing. So a new strategy is needed with herbal-based therapy that has the effect of treating infections and does not cause side effects in patients. Subjects and Method: The research was conducted with a post test only randomized control group design to test macroscopic observations of the average size of the wound length, hyperemia and swelling in 30 white Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) after receiving ethanol extract of rosella petals (Hibiscus sabdarifa L.). The dependent variables of the study were wound closure time, hyperemia and wound swelling. The independent variable of the research was varying doses of ethanol extract of rosella flower petals (Hibiscus sabdarifa L.) 6%, 12% and 15%. The parameters assessed are the length of the wound and the macroscopic assessment of the wound. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Administration of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. 6%, 12% and 15% ethanol extract gel on the 12th day resulted in a significant acceleration of the wound healing process (p=0.024). There was a significant difference between negative control (Mean=3,281 mm ; SD=1,681 mm), positive control (Mean=2,813 mm ; SD=1,106 mm), 6% Rosella flower petal extract gel (Mean=2,916 mm ; SD=1,224 mm ), 12% (Mean=1,290 mm ; SD=1,098 mm), and 15% (Mean=1,035 mm ; SD=0.952 mm) (p=0.024), in the macroscopic assessment there was no significant difference in the wound healing process on day 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 except for signs of swelling on days 6 (p=0.038) and 9 (p=0.038) which had a significant difference compared to controls. Conclusion: Administration of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. 15% ethanol extract gel had the fastest time in wound closure and healing (Mean=1.035 mm ; SD=0.952 mm) for 12 days (p=0.024), the longest time in wound closure and healing was the negative control (gel placebo) (Mean=0.976 mm ; SD=1.103 mm) namely for 15 days (p=0.158).
