Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the joints become inflamed causing swelling, pain and often eventually causing damage to the inside of the joint. Hence, physical exercise is believed could gives healing effects on health issues. The research design used by researchers is quasi-experimental designs with a pre-test – post-test group design without a control group. The results showed that there was a significant effect of brisk walking exercise on rheumatoid factor levels (IU/ml) in elderly women with rheumatoid arthritis symptoms with a significant value (Sig) <0.05. It means giving Brisk Walking Exercise to changes in Rheumatoid factor levels (RF) has a significant effect on elderly women with rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.

Abstract

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes joint inflammation. Elderly, especially women are more susceptible to RA due to hormonal factors. RA patient often feel inconvenient during physical activity because of pain in their joint. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of physical activity on elderly woman with Rheumatoid Arthritis. This research is a literature study using traditional review method. Journal article studies were searched in Google Scholar, OneSearch Indonesia, and Garuda in Bahasa and English language that published online from 2012-2022 according to keywords. Of 9.030 studies from databases identified 30 journal studies were included. Literature studies show that the prevalence of elderly women with RA is higher than men. These studies also shows that severity of RA affects the ability of elderly to do a physical activity and physical activity itself influences reducing pain and preventing the severity of RA. The conclusion of this study is that the prevalence of elderly women with RA is higher than men and physical activity is associated with RA. Suggestions for future researchers to focus more on treatments that can be done to reduce the risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis in elderly.

Abstract

Cycling is an activity that people do every day, but in its development, cycling is not always done by most people. Cycling is carried out as a support for daily activities that have benefits for the health of the body such as reducing excessive blood pressure levels or can be referred to as preventing hypertension. Hypertension generally occurs in the elderly, but several studies have shown that hypertension also occurs in adolescence and is realized during the last decade. Through this literature review method by collecting several scientific articles or reference books as an understanding of a problem. From here, it is organized into four stages, namely: first, looking for scientific articles or reference books. Second, evaluate the literature review sources. Third, identify themes and theoretical gaps with existing conditions in the field. Fourth, namely the presentation and conclusion of the article review process. After doing this method, the author concludes that cycling has a pretty good role for people with hypertension, one of which is when after doing cycling, the body's health condition is controlled and makes excessive stress disappear, so cycling is recommended for people with hypertension.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the moderating effect of the nature of sport on the relationship between lifestyle and sports engagement for different types of sports and how it affects each student-athlete. A sample comprised of 408 consisting of 29.9% individual sports (n=122), 18.87% dual sports (n=77), and 51.23% (n=209) student-athletes answered a packet of questionnaires assessing lifestyle and sport engagement. The results showed that overall lifestyle is a significant predictor of sports engagement, as students who demonstrate good exercise habits, engage in regular exercise, and maintain good nutrition are more likely to engage in sports. Interestingly, the type of sport did not significantly affect sports engagement. These findings provide empirical evidence that the type of sport does not moderate the relationship between lifestyle and sports engagement, which suggests that student-athletes can participate in any sport of their choice, whether it is an individual or dual sport or a team sport, to support them in achieving their maximum potential. However, there may be other factors that moderate the relationship between student-athletes' lifestyles and sports engagement that require further investigation.
